How to Get India Company Data: 3 Ways Compared (2026)
India's official company register is the system of record for every registered company in the country: status, capital, industry, filings and board details. Whether you are doing KYB, checking a borrower, or sizing a market, there are three practical ways to get that data. Here is how they compare.
What data is available?
- Identity: CIN, legal name, status, company type and class, incorporation date, ROC.
- Profile: industry (NIC), state, registered address.
- Financial footprint: authorised and paid-up capital, and filing history.
- Board: board size and board details as listed on the public register.
Directors' personal contact details are not part of the public register, and FactDen does not provide them.
Way 1: The official portal
You can look up any company by name or CIN for free. It is the right choice for checking a single company. It does not scale: lookups are one at a time, there is no bulk export, and you cannot pull a whole industry or state as a list.
Way 2: Paid company reports
Company-report websites package the register into readable reports, often with financial statements. They are good for deep research on a few companies, but priced per report or per seat, which gets expensive if you need hundreds or thousands of records.
Way 3: A data feed or API
If you need data in bulk or every day, a structured feed is the fastest route. FactDen India Company Data returns clean records you can load straight into a sheet, CRM or pipeline:
- By CIN or company name - for KYB on a known list.
- By industry and state - a whole segment at once, NIC-mapped.
- New registrations, daily - via the daily new-company feed.

- For one company, the official portal is free. For hundreds or thousands, a pay-per-result API is usually cheapest: FactDen's India Company Data starts at $2.50 per 1,000 company records.
