Companies Incorporated in 1891

6 companies were incorporated in 1891. 135 years on, this cohort represents an established tier of the Indian corporate register. 5 of those companies (83%) are currently marked as active on MCA records. The remaining 1 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 1891 cohort was most heavily weighted toward Agriculture and Allied Activities, Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing (Metals and Chemicals, and products thereof) — these were the NIC industry codes that captured the largest share of new incorporations that year. Geographically, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra contributed the highest number of incorporations in 1891, reflecting the concentration of India's corporate formation activity in its major commercial states.
