Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an Indian company, wholly owned by a foreign parent company, is considered a 'foreign company' under Section 2(42) of the Companies Act, 2013. While it has business operations in India and its shares are held by foreign entities, the consensus is that if it's incorporated in India following Indian law, it's an Indian company, specifically a subsidiary of a foreign company, rather than a foreign company itself.

for the foreign company , two conditions shall be checked 

place of business in INDIA + having activity in INDIA (physically or electronically) 

so in your case , I  can say yes it is a foreign company 

But it is formed and incoporated in in India by following the provisions of Indian Company Law, so it should be an Indian Company right?
It have business activities in india physically and 100% shares are hold by two foreign company which are incorporated in foreign. Then it should be considered as foreign company in my opinion.
No it's not covered under section 2 (42). your company should be considered as subsidiary of foreign company but not foreign company.
