The minimum number of shareholders needed to incorporate a Private Limited Company in India is two. Companies or individuals from outside the country can be shareholders.
At least two directors are required, of which one must be an Indian citizen. In this case, a foreign national that is an Indian resident is eligible since the requirement is a resident of India (not an Indian national). A resident of India is anyone who has lived in India for at least 182 days in the past year.
There should be no barriers to foreign investment in that industry.
It is time to open a bank account after the company has been established. RBI reports foreign investments into India, which is its responsibility.

Indian Reserve Bank FDI Reports:
If a foreign company or individual invests in India, either setting up a business or investing in an existing business, FDI reporting to the Foreign Exchange Management Department or the RBI is required.
In order to invest in an Indian company, the foreign company or foreign national must transfer funds in foreign currency to a bank account in India. Your bank transfer needs to be designated as “investment” or “equity investment”.
In the event funds reach an Indian bank, it will issue a Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC). Through which we can file an FC-GPR with RBI.
Advance reporting is required within 30 days of receiving funds. An FC-GPR filing must be filed within 60 days of the receipt of funds.
