# Companies incorporated in India in 1895

6 companies were incorporated in 1895. 131 years on, this cohort represents an established tier of the Indian corporate register. 6 of those companies (100%) are currently marked as active on MCA records. The remaining 0 have since been struck off, dissolved, amalgamated, or placed in other non-active states — a natural attrition pattern visible across every annual cohort on the MCA register. The 1895 cohort was most heavily weighted toward Manufacturing (Food stuffs), Manufacturing (Food stuffs), Manufacturing (Textiles) — these were the NIC industry codes that captured the largest share of new incorporations that year. Geographically, West Bengal, Maharashtra contributed the highest number of incorporations in 1895, reflecting the concentration of India's corporate formation activity in its major commercial states.
