The '''Indian Music Industry (IMI)''' is a trust that represents the [[recording industry]] distributors in [[India]]. It was founded on February 28, 1936 as '''Indian Phonographic Industry (IPI)'''. It is the 2nd oldest [[music industry]] organization in the world that was involved in protecting [[copyright]]s of [[music producer]]s and supporting growth of music [[entertainment industry]]. In 1994, it was renamed as Indian Music Industry (IMI) and represented India at the [[International Federation of the Phonographic Industry]] (IFPI). It is also registered with the West Bengal Societies Registration Act. All major music labels in India are part of this association. Record companies like [[Sa Re Ga Ma|Saregama India Ltd.]] (HMV), [[Universal Music]] (India), [[Tips Industries Limited]], [[Sony Music India|Sony Music Entertainment]] (India), [[Virgin Records]], [[Magnasound]], [[Aditya Music]], [[Times Music]], [[Zee Music Company]] and [[T-Series (company)|T-Series]] several other prominent international, national and regional labels are part of the IMI. The IMI represents over 75% of all legal music sales in India.

IMI has its registered office in [[Kolkata]] and Administrative office in [[Mumbai]]. It also has offices in [[New Delhi]], [[Chennai]], [[Bangalore]], [[Hyderabad]] and other major Indian cities working on the protection of rights of music producers and preventing [[music piracy]]. It has also been instrumental in launching the IMMIES music awards in collaboration with [[MTV]].

The Indian music industry is largely dominated by [[Indian film]] soundtracks, which account for nearly 80% of the country's music revenue, followed by [[Indi-pop]].<ref name="forbes">{{cite news |last=Hu |first=Cherie |title=How India, The Global Music Industry's Sleeping Giant, Is Finally Waking Up |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/cheriehu/2017/09/23/how-india-the-global-music-industrys-sleeping-giant-is-finally-waking-up/ |work=[[Forbes]] |date=September 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The Indian Music Industry is struggling to survive COVID-19 |url=https://musicbiznation.com/news/the-indian-music-industry-struggling-to-survive-covid/ |publisher=Music Biz Nation}}</ref> As of 2014, the largest Indian music [[record label]] is [[T-Series (company)|T-Series]] with up to 35% share of the Indian market, followed by [[Sony Music India]] (the largest foreign-owned label) with up to 25% share, and then [[Zee Music]] (which has a partnership with Sony).<ref>{{cite news |last1=Malvania |first1=Urvi |title=Sony Music eyes numero uno position in India |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/sony-music-eyes-numero-uno-position-in-india-114042100807_1.html |work=[[Business Standard]] |date=21 April 2014}}</ref> As of 2017, 216{{nbsp}}million Indians use music streaming services such as [[YouTube]], [[Hungama Digital Media Entertainment|Hungama]], [[Gaana]] and [[Saavn]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Spotify's plan to beat Apple: sign the rest of the world |url=https://www.ft.com/content/2b1b317a-f87b-11e8-8b7c-6fa24bd5409c |work=[[Financial Times]] |date=3 January 2019}}</ref> T-Series has the world's [[List of most-subscribed YouTube channels|most-subscribed]] and [[List of most-viewed YouTube channels|most-viewed YouTube channel]].

== Criteria of certification levels ==

The Indian Music Industry has constituted different, awards to encourage and promote music. The approved scheme of gold/platinum disc standards effective for sound recordings of member companies released in one calendar year is as below:

* Sales of all types of carriers, whether vinyl records, audio cassettes, compact discs, MP3 compact discs, music videos (i.e. excluding home videos) or any other existing or future type of carrier is considered on the basis of one unit.
* If a sound recording contains a combination of two program, any program over half of its total duration can be weighted at 50%, of the sales of the sound recording of that program. Any program comprising less than half of the total duration of the sound recording will not be counted for the purpose of certification.
* Sales in domestic markets only will be considered for the calculation of sales of sound recording.
* The time-limit for achieving above sales in any category is one year from the release of the recording in India.
* Applications should be accompanied by a copy certified by the member's chartered accountant stating the date of release & the number of units sold, along with a letter from the managing director or CEO.

== Certification levels ==

India has separate scales for [[music recording certification]]s. Certifications are usually based on sales, like some other Asian countries. Like many other Asian countries, domestic repertoire accounts for the majority of the Indian music market. Like many other countries, sales requirements of music recording in India reduced due to music piracy, declining sales, and the rise of [[online streaming]].

===Current===
The following are the current certification levels, as of 2019.<ref name="certifications">{{cite web |title=Awards |url=https://www.indianmi.org/?id=10720&t=Awards |website=Indian Music Industry (IMI) |access-date=7 January 2019}}</ref>
