Companies Incorporated in 1887

1 companies were incorporated in 1887. 139 years on, this cohort represents an established tier of the Indian corporate register. 1 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 1887 cohort was most heavily weighted toward Community, personal and Social Services — these were the NIC industry codes that captured the largest share of new incorporations that year. Geographically, Uttar Pradesh contributed the highest number of incorporations in 1887, reflecting the concentration of India's corporate formation activity in its major commercial states.
