Overview

A structure built around one India project

A project office suits a foreign company with a specific project, assignment, contract, or execution responsibility in India.

It is tied to that project and is not designed as a permanent or broad-based business presence. It may suit infrastructure, engineering, construction, consulting, technical execution, project management, and installation firms. Suitability depends on the contract, sector, funding, duration, applicant profile, and regulatory conditions.
