3 regional Directorates, six RoCs to be operational from Feb ’26

The Corporate Affairs Ministry on Wednesday said three Regional Directorates and six Registrar of Companies will be operational from February 16, 2026.

Regional Directorates (RDs) and Registrars of Companies (RoCs) are key institutions in the implementation of the companies and limited liability partnership laws under the Ministry. Announcing the opening of 3 RDs and 6 RoCs from February 16, the Ministry said this will help in regulatory facilitation as well as giving necessary fillip to the buzzing business environment. As part of the revamp, the existing RD of the Northern Region headquartered in Delhi will be split into two — RD (NR-I) and RD (NR-II).

RD (NR-I), headquartered in New Delhi, will have the jurisdiction over the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Headquartered in Chandigarh, RD (NR-II) will have the jurisdiction over Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and the Union Territories of Chandigarh, Ladakh, and J&K, an official release said on Wednesday.

“A new Regional Directorate has been established for South-Western Region (SWR) to be headquartered at Bangalore, which will have jurisdiction over the State of Karnataka, State of Kerala and UT of Lakshadweep,” the release said. Additionally, adjustments will be made in RoCs.
