3. India’s Sun Pharma eyes to enter the Japanese Market
India‟s largest drug maker, Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., is exploring
opportunities to enter the Japanese market by entering into partnership with the
Japanese companies. Sun Pharma has expanded in the recent past, first and foremost
through acquisitions and was always on the look-out for more such opportunities.
Japan is a rewarding market for manufacturing low-cost drugs especially when the
government in the country is lobbying for more generics to go on sale for bringing
down the cost of healthcare for an ageing population.
Indian VC firm plans $1 billion fund to back Japanese Ventures
India (Ahmedabad) based venture capital firm GVFL Ltd. is looking to float $1 billion
fund entirely for Japanese ventures in Gujarat. The proposed fund, if closed, will be
the largest fund ever floated by the company. The Indian venture capital firm is
looking out for expansions and is holding discussions with some of the Japanese
investors and other Southeast Asian investors to invest through the fund. Mr. Harish
Pattnaik, managing director of GVFL, said in a statement “In one or two years, more
than 100 Japanese entrepreneurs will be coming to Gujarat to set up businesses. In
recent times, Japan has reiterated its interest of investing in India, especially in
Gujarat. There will be cluster-based specialised industries which would also need
infrastructure built around their food and culture. We will have to tap them through a
dedicated fund.”
Lumux Auto forms 55:45 JV with Japan’s Mannoh Industrial
India (Pune) based auto component manufacturer, Lumax Auto Technologies Ltd., has
signed a joint venture agreement with Japan's Mannoh Industrial Co Ltd. to design
and manufacture complete gear shift lever systems for manual, automatic, AMT &

unit at Manesar in Gurgaon (Haryana, India). Lumax will hold 55 per cent stake in the
JV while the remaining 45 per cent stake will be held by Japan‟s Mannoh Industrial.
The new venture will be named Lumax Mannoh Allied Technologies Ltd (LMAT) and
will be effective from April 2014. Lumax is expected to provide local designing &
testing capability in India and a Japanese designer from Mannoh is expected to
support the activity for designing technologies in India for the purpose of maintaining
cost competitiveness.
Tide Water Oil to form JV with Japan’s JX Nippon Oil & Energy
India‟s Kolkata-based Tide Water Oil Co. (India) Ltd. has signed a memorandum of
understanding with Japan‟s JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation to form a joint
venture (JV) in India. JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp is into exploration, imports and
refining of crude oil, manufacturing and sale of petroleum products and other energy-
related activities. Its products are sold under the brand name Eneos. India‟s Tide
Water Oil already has been in a long-standing partnership with the company but is
now signing a formal JV for Eneos brand of lubricants. Tide Water Oil has been
making and selling lubricants under Eneos brand for the last two decades. The Indian
company and the Japanese firm will be holding equal stake in the
JV company, which will be manufacturing and selling Eneos brand of lubricants in
India and other countries including China and Bhutan.
Japan's Chubu in deal with India's GAIL to consider joint LNG buy
All the Asian countries together import 70 percent of the world's LNG and the Asian
prices are at least three times the cost of natural gas in the United States. Asian
importers feel that they are charged with an excessive premium because of a practice
of linking LNG contracts to oil prices. Thus, the Asian countries are searching for
stable and lower prices of the fuel. In this regard, Japan's Chubu Electric Power has
signed a deal with India's GAIL to consider cooperation in joint procurement of LNG.
The ever increasing demand for LNG in Asia has pushed the prices to a never before
high level and consequently, now buyers such as India, Japan and South Korea are
looking for ways to cut their high gas import bills.

5. Japan's Netmagic expands Data Center footprint in India
Japan‟s Netmagic, an NTT Communications company and India's only Data Center
Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (DILM) service provider announced the launch of
its new data center in Bangalore, India. Mr. Akira Arima, President and CEO, NTT

give Indian and multi-national enterprises an opportunity to experience the state-of-
the-art data centers that NTT Communications operates across the world. The added
advantage of Netmagic's excellence in IT infrastructure management and service
delivery in the Indian enterprise space, gives this data center the capability of
becoming the new benchmark for data centers in India”. In India, the services are
offered through all 8 Netmagic data centers.

Japan is the second largest IT market in the World. However, India‟s software export
to the Japan amounts to only $500 million. Mr. D. K. Sareen, Executive Director,
Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC) said “the
opportunities that Japan offered was immense, but we have not utilised it fully. If
India increases its exports by 100 per cent, then we can achieve the full potential.”
The „Japan IT Week 2014‟ was the largest trade show in which the participants may
find the latest IT technologies and solutions. Japanese Deputy Consul General Koji
Sugiyama encouraged the Indian firms to participate in the Japan IT show that would
be holding specialized shows on software development, data warehouse, embedded
systems, data storage, information security, cloud computing, smart phone and
mobile in addition to some other topics.

Manish Sharma, the managing director of Japan Panasonic India said in this regard
that "India will become a regional headquarter, covering areas like SAARC, Africa and
Middle East and will report directly to global headquarters in. All these countries fall
in the vicinity of India. India has become a manufacturing hub and is strategically
located and that could help in taking products to these markets. All the countries
except in the Middle East are emerging markets and thus strategies being
implemented here can be utilised in these markets also.”The Japanese company has
collaborated with six NGOs in various states in India including areas of Bihar, Andhra
Pradesh and Orissa for the distribution of lanterns.

India and Japan are discovering opportunities to cooperate with Kerala, India in IT
and tourism sectors. Kerala‟s economy is growing on two main pillars of tourism and
IT. Several Japanese companies are looking to expand their operations in South India.
The decision is partly based on the fact that there is presence of more Japanese
citizens working in Kerala as compared to the rest of the country. The Japanese
Ministry of Economy and Trade and Industry (METI) and the Japan Tourism and
Indian Ministry of Communication and IT had already started joint working group on
IT and electronics in 2013. Takeshi Yagi, Japanese Ambassador to India is hoping that

to be set up by Radico. The value of the investment is likely to be around ¥10 billion. A
sales contract was signed between Radico and Suntory in 2011 to sell its high-grade
Hibiki whisky, which is targeted at wealthy consumers in India. Suntory aims to
collaborate with Radico to grow the Indian distilled liquor market, which has been
growing proportionately with the country‟s expanding population. Also, Radico is
hiving off its IMFL business into a separate subsidiary in October, 2014 and Suntory
will be buying 26 percent stake in IMFL business for Rs 900 crore.
Yokohama Tyres bets big on India
Japan‟s Yokohama Tyres is undertaking feasibility studies on supplying tyres to
Indian car companies. Yokohama opened a manufacturing plant in India in early

9. 2014. Takeshi Fujino, Managing Director of Yokohama India said “Right now we are
not in position to talk to these companies on business deals, as we have not started
full manufacturing here. Depending on negotiations on quality, pricing and
development timings, we will consider the aspects of supplying to them as well. We are
planning to start the factory (in Bahadurgarh, Haryana) in July and roll out tyres in
the market during August-September. Right now, trial productions are on and once
production starts, we will make one lakh units in the first year.” However, he further
added that it was a long-term plan and may become a reality only around 2018.

management plan. Recently it acquired Chennai based ATM payment services
provider, Prizm Payment.

10. Impact of the Companies Act, 2013 on the Foreign Companies having a Place of
Business in India3
The much awaited Companies Act, 2013 (“New Act”) has finally been notified to replace
most of the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (“Old Act”). The economic scenario
globally has undergone major transformation and structural changes and
promulgation of the New Act is a step towards globalization and is a successful
attempt to meet the changing environment and liberalization. The New Act is
progressive and futuristic as it duly envisages the technological and legal
developments. The New Act aims to:
revise and modify the Companies Act, 1956 in consonance with the changes in
the national and international economy;
bring about compactness by deleting the provisions that had become redundant
over time and by regrouping the scattered provisions relating to specific
subjects;
re-write various provisions of the Old Act to enable easy interpretation;
delink the procedural aspects from the substantive law and provide greater
flexibility in rule making to enable adaptation to the changing economic and
technical environment; and,
inculcate the culture of corporate governance in the Indian corporate world.
With these objectives the New Act seeks to bring various changes for the businesses,
promoters, stakeholders, creditors, directors, the law enforcers and the society at
large. Different sections of the corporate world will be affected in their own way with
the New Act. This Note highlights the impact of the New Act on foreign companies
having a place of business in India.

Set up as an Indian Company
A foreign company can commence operations in India by incorporating a company
under the New Act through
Joint Ventures
Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
Foreign Investment in Joint Ventures can be up to 100% depending on the
requirements of the investor and subject to equity caps in respect of the area of
activities under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy.
Such joint venture may in the form of Private Company or a Public Company.
However, in case of forming a joint venture in India as per the Old Act, if the status of
the foreign equity partner which if incorporated in India would be a Public Company
and it is holding less than 100% of paid up capital of the new joint venture company,
such company shall be deemed as a Public Company even it is registered as a Private
Company in India.
Modification as Compared to Old Act: Under the New Act no such restriction has
been provided which means whatever be the status of the foreign equity partner if it is
being incorporated in India, the new incorporated Joint Venture Company may maintain
its status as Private or Public Company depending on the form of registration in India.
Secondly, foreign companies can set up wholly-owned subsidiary in sectors where
100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the FDI policy.
In both the case, as a joint venture entity or as a wholly owned subsidiary, the
incorporated company would be registered as an Indian company and have to comply
with all the provisions of the Indian company law. As per the definition provided under
the law these companies are not called as Foreign Company.
Set up as a Foreign Company
The foreign companies can also set up their operations in India through
Liaison Office/Representative Office

12. Project Office
Branch Office
In such cases the foreign company does not have to comply with all the provisions of
the Indian company law and instead the law has specified the separate provisions
which such foreign company has to comply with.
Definition of Foreign Company:
New Ambit of Foreign Companies: The New Act has redefined the term „Foreign
Company‟.
Foreign Company under Companies
Act 1956 – Section 591
Foreign Company as per Companies
Act, 2013 – Section 2(42)
Company incorporated outside India
and having a place of business in India
Company or body Corporate
incorporate outside India having a place
of business in India whether by itself or
through an agent, physically or
through electronic mode.
Conducts any business in India in any
other manner.
Modification as Compared to the Old Act: The ambit of Foreign Companies has been
proposed to extend in order to cover all companies or body corporates that have a place
of business in India by themselves or through an agent, operating physically in India or
through electronic mode. The definition has been broadened to include every Company
having business in India through any mode.
The New Act has the potential to impact a large number of Foreign Companies that
may be doing business in India through electronic mode. The registration requirement
of companies doing business in India through „electronic mode‟ has been the subject
matter of discussions and debates. Rule 2 (c) of the Companies (Registration of Foreign
Companies) Rules, 2014 defines „electronic mode‟ as carrying out electronically based,
whether main server is installed in India or not, including but not limited to-
1. Business to business and business to consumer transactions, data interchange and
other digital supply transactions;
2. offering to accept deposits or inviting deposits or accepting deposits or
subscriptions in securities in India or from citizens of India;
3. financial settlements, web based marketing, advisory and transactional services,
database services and products, supply chain management;

13. 4. online services such as telemarketing, telecommuting, telemedicine, education and
information research; and
5. all related data communication services.
These transactions may be conducted by e-mail, mobile devices, social media, cloud
computing, document management, voice or data transmission or otherwise.
Compliances for Foreign Company
Documents etc., to be delivered to Registrar by Foreign Companies: Section 380
Every Foreign company is required to submit these documents to the Registrar for
registration, within 30 days of the establishment of its place of business in India:
 Certified copy of the charter, statutes or memorandum and articles, of the
company or other instrument constituting or defining the constitution of the
company and, if the instrument is not in the English language, a certified
translation thereof in the English language;
 Full address of the registered or principal office of the company
 List of the directors and secretary of the company containing such particulars
as prescribed under Rule 3.
 Name and address or the names and addresses of one or more persons resident
in India authorised to accept on behalf of the company service of process and
any notices or other documents required to be served on the company
 Full address of the office of the company in India which is deemed to be its
principal place of business in India
 Particulars of opening and closing of a place of business in India on earlier
occasion or occasions
 Declaration that none of the directors of the company or the authorized
representative in India has ever been convicted or debarred from
formation of companies and management in India or abroad.
 Other Documents as may be prescribed.
Rule No. 3(3) the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 requires
application to be supported with an attested copy of approval from the Reserve
Bank of India under Foreign Exchange Management Act and the rules and

14. regulations thereunder or a declaration from the authorised representative of
such Foreign Company that no such approval is required.
In case of any alteration in the aforesaid documents the Foreign Company is require to
submit a return containing the particulars of alteration as per the prescribed format
with the Registrar of Companies, within 30 days of any such alteration.
Accounts of Foreign Companies:
The Foreign Companies in each calendar year are required to prepare a balance sheet
and profit & loss account as per the prescribed format and shall also annex the
documents as prescribed under Rule No. 4 along with the balance sheet and profit &
loss account. All these documents shall be filed with Registrar of Companies along
with a copy of list of all the places where business has been established in India as on
the date of the balance Sheet.
If any of such documents is not in English Language, a certified translation of these
documents in English Language shall be attached.
Display of Name of Foreign Companies:
Every Foreign Company is required to exhibit outside its every office or place of
business in India, and in all business letters, bill heads and letter paper, and in all
notices, and other official publications, the name of the company and the country
where it is incorporated. The name shall be in legible letters of English language and
also in the local language of the state where such office is situated.
Besides the name and the country of Incorporation the company is also required to
mention the fact that the liability of the company is limited if it is so.
Service on Foreign Company:
Any process, notice, or other document required to be served on a foreign company
shall be addressed to the person whose name and address have been delivered to the
Registrar and sent by post or by electronic mode. The documents on Foreign Company
as per the New Act may now also be served by Electronic Mode.
Punishment for Contravention:
In case if Foreign Company has contravened any of the applicable provisions, it shall
be punishable with minimum fine of Rs. 1 lakh4 but which may extend to Rs. 3 lakh
and in case of a continuing offence with an additional fine which may extend to Rs.
50,000 for every day during which the default continues.
4 Lakh = 100,000

15. Besides this every officer of the company who is in default shall be punishable with
imprisonment of maximum 6 months or fine which shall not be less than Rs. 25,000
but which may extend to Rs. 1 lakh or with both.
Modification as Compared to the Old Act: Under the Old Act where in case of
default the company and every officer or agent of the Company who is in default was
punishable with fine which may extend to Rs. 10,000 and in case of continuing
offence, with an additional fine which may extend to Rs. 1,000 for every day during the
default continues.
Impact of change in definition of Foreign Companies
The New Act has expanded the definition of Foreign Companies to include those
foreign companies as well that are doing business in India through electronic mode. As
discussed earlier, Rule 2 (c) defines „electronic mode‟, which definition is wide enough
to cover virtually every transaction carried through electronic mode including through
e-mail, mobile devices, social media, cloud computing, document management, voice
or data transmission or otherwise. Such a wide coverage on transactions done through
electronic modes is, therefore, likely to have a great impact on various foreign
companies involved in transactions such as consultancy services, financial services, e-
commerce etc. with their customers in India that would be required to establish a
permanent place of work in India through registration, in order to continue to operate
in the country.
Currently, there are a number of foreign based websites that operate directly or
indirectly in India and may be said to have a place of business in India through
electronic mode such as Amazon.com, Rakuten.com etc., where customers located
in India can purchase products and get the shipment in India. Moreover, ebooks,
softwares, or subscription to e-magazines, dailies or subscription of other members
only websites could be purchased online at many websites that need no physical
shipment to India. The New Act specifically provides that in order to ascertain the
place of business in India through electronic mode, the main server is not required to
be installed in India. Further, by some stretch of imagination, one could also foresee
transactions conducted through debit and credit cards of foreign banks may also be
subjected to the applicability of the provisions of the New Act as the financial
settlements carried out electronically have been included under the ambit of electronic
mode.
It is interesting to note that the New Act does not seek to restrict its coverage on such
above-mentioned transactions either in terms of monetary limits or number of
transactions per year/month. The bare perusal of the provisions of the New Act (esp.
section 380 and section 2 (42) along with prescribed Rules) suggests that even a single
transaction conducted in India by a foreign company would be sufficient to infer that

16. such foreign company has established a place of business in India. Such an
interpretation would lead to undesirable consequences as any foreign company e.g. a
consultancy company based outside India would require registration in India even if it
undertakes only one single transaction in a whole year. Imagine a situation where a
customer in India buys an application or software worth $1 on a foreign based
marketplace websites like google playstore that may not be registered in India. The
marketplace websites could have sellers that are also not registered in India as per the
requirement of section 380. In such a case, it would be absurd to expect that for the
sale of a $1 product/service both the seller company as well as the marketplace owner
company be required to get registered under the New Act. However, as absurd as it
may appear, the bare interpretation of the New Act leads to this conclusion.
Moreover, at this point, it is not clear as to how the New Act would be able to track,
take cognizance of and enforce penalty against the violation of section 380 by Foreign
Companies. It would be interesting to see how the law will be enforced in case a
Foreign Company having a place of business in India through electronic mode refuses
to register as per the provisions of the New Act and also refuses to pay the fine. Will
the Registrar of Companies apply for a court decree against the Foreign Company in
India and hope for successful execution of such decree in the country of incorporation
of such Foreign Company? Or the Indian Government is ready for more radical
approach of blocking such online sellers and service providers from providing services
in India? There seem to be many enforcement challenges for the regulator under the
New Act. Time to amend the Rules, already?
