Over 200,000 companies shut down in India's five-year regulatory sweep
More than 204,000 private companies have closed in India over the past five years, the government revealed Monday in Parliament, marking one of the most extensive corporate clean-up operations in the country's history. The shutdowns, which occurred between 2020-21 and 2024-25, were driven by a combination of business consolidation, regulatory non-compliance, and government enforcement actions under the Companies Act, 2013.
