.TRADE Domain Registration — What You Get
.trade is an ICANN generic top-level domain run by Elite Registry Limited delegated under ICANN’s 2012 new gTLD programme. Like the rest of that programme it is sold on a first-come, first-served basis to any registrant.
Label rules follow the gTLD standard (letters, digits, inner hyphens, 2 to 63 characters) with 1-to-10-year terms and DNSSEC. Registry-premium labels are always quoted before you commit.
Who Can Register a .trade Domain Name
Anyone can register a ..trade name — an individual, a proprietorship, a company or a society, in India or abroad, with no documents and no local presence. The registry’s intended market is a matter of fit, not a gate.
What ICANN does require is accurate registrant data and a working mailbox — renewal notices, transfer approvals and registry notices all land there.
What a .trade Domain Is Used For
The registry’s stated market for .trade is direct: businesses. In practice an Indian buyer reads the label the same way — a business-first label that tells a visitor what the site sells.
Names that read naturally: foundry.trade, leadgen.trade, leadgen.trade, venture.trade or yourbrand.trade.

.TRADE Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules
Each ..trade registration is bought in 1-to-10-year blocks and renews at ₹3,037 a year. The registrant mailbox gets the renewal notices — keep it live.
Transfers use an authorisation code from the losing registrar, and a completed transfer adds a year to the term. After expiry the standard gTLD lifecycle applies: an auto-renew grace window, a redemption period with a recovery fee, then pending delete before the name returns to the open market.
.trade vs .com and .in for an Indian Business
SEO treats the label as neutral — ..trade neither helps nor hurts versus .com (₹1,380/year) or .in (₹1,000/year). What ..trade at ₹2,754/year buys is a business-first label that tells a visitor what the site sells.
