01 April 2015 As per the Citizenship Act, 1955, only natural persons can be “Citizen” and not
any juristic persons like corporations (S.T.C. v. C.T.O., AIR 1963 S.C. 1811).

And therefore, as a Company is an Artificial Person or as above said a juristic person and not a natural person, it can not get the status of citizenship of the country.

Link of case law mentioned above: https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1799890/

See section 2(f) of The Citizenship Act 1955 from link given below:
