Repatriation of profits from a wholly owned subsidiary in USA

Hello,

We have a wholly owned subsidiary in USA and was just wondering the ways through which we can repatriate the profits back to India. Is dividend the only way? Is there any other way? And does the profit repatriated attract any taxes in India? Thanky you
