Find Indian companies by state and industry, then export the list
Last updated 2 November 2026 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder
IndianFirmData lets you build a company list in one step: type "listed IT companies in Karnataka" or pick exact filters such as state, city, industry group, listing status, company class and incorporation year. You see the filters it used, the matching companies with their IDs and sources, and you can export the list as CSV. Search costs 0.01 credits a result; export 0.005 credits a row.
Steps in IndianFirmData
1. Open Search
Sign in and open Dashboard → Search. New accounts can press Try with an example to run a first search at once.
2. Ask in plain English
Type your request. The search shows the filters it understood, so you can check them.

3. Tighten with filters
Add exact filters from 87 fields, such as city, NSE board, employee range or has LEI.
4. Export
Press Export CSV to download up to 5,000 rows by default (50,000 from the API).
How industry is decided
For listed companies we use the official NSE industry when we know it, from the Nifty index files. For others we map the sector and industry text to the same vocabulary, so "IT companies" becomes the Information Technology group and banks become Financial Services.
Coverage today
The index holds NSE main-board and SME companies, GLEIF LEI holders and Wikidata companies and universities. The full MCA master is not loaded yet. Most unlisted private companies are not in it yet, so lists of small private firms in one city will be short.
When IndianFirmData is not the right tool
If you want a list of every private limited company in a district with contact details, IndianFirmData is not the right tool: the full MCA master is not loaded yet and we hold no personal contact data.
Questions
