Hi,
Transfer from a holding company to 100% owned subsidy is not regarded as transfer.
but in your case taxability will be in accordance with DTAA( double taxation avoidance agreement) between other countries and india.
Please, check DTAA agreement between US and india.

Hi,
then obviously taxability is applicable with US laws

First I thought the transfer is from US company to Indian subsidy, that was a mistake.
Since, transfer is from one US company to another US company, It will be taxable under that country law.
If any transfer or any money comes into india by any way from those companies, it will be treated under DTAA
