Each company is counted in the state or union territory whose Registrar of Companies (ROC) code appears in its Corporate Identification Number (CIN): the ROC with jurisdiction over its registered office. The MCA monthly files have no address column, and each ROC code maps to exactly one state or union territory. Counts are not adjusted for working days.

Across India, the BBR Index, which tracks new companies per working day (Monday to Friday count as one working day each and Saturday as half), was 98.4 in August 2026, down 7.1 points from July's 105.5. Read the national picture on the BBR Index page.
The Founders' League
Manipur plays outside The Founders' League as an Emerging state. The league's Premier and Challenger Divisions, of 10 states each, were seeded on March 2026 volumes, and the smaller states play outside them, so Manipur scores no league points. It is still ranked with all 27 states on new companies and business birth rate.
The seven Emerging states with companies in the files are Goa, Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram.

One Person Company: a company with only one member. Section 8 company: a not-for-profit company licensed under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, which applies its income to its objects and pays no dividend. Foreign-owned subsidiaries: companies registered as subsidiaries of foreign companies. AI in the name: names with terms such as AI or Artificial Intelligence. Tech and the green economy are defined by business activity and name. A company can fall in more than one row, so the shares do not add up to 100%.
From the Incorporation Experts
Starting a company in Manipur?
A company is registered with the ROC that has jurisdiction over its registered office, so a company with its registered office in Manipur is counted on this page. The application is made through SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus), the MCA web form INC-32 that combines name reservation and incorporation, and the certificate of incorporation carries the company's CIN.
The registered office also affects the cost: stamp duty on the memorandum and articles of association differs by state and union territory, so check it before you settle the address.
After incorporation, a company with share capital must file its declaration for commencement of business in Form INC-20A within 180 days, and its Board must appoint the first auditor within 30 days. A limited liability partnership (LLP) is incorporated through Form FiLLiP and must file its LLP agreement in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation.
BizExpress takes private limited companies and LLPs from name approval to certificate, and keeps the filings that follow on time.
