The consulate general traces its origins to the Swedish honorary consulate in Bombay, established in 1857 to support trade and shipping within the Bombay Presidency. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the consulate was mainly managed by foreign merchants. Starting in 1930, Swedish businessmen in India were appointed as honorary consuls. This changed in 1942 when the career consulate general moved from Calcutta to Bombay, elevating the consulate's status. However, in 1948, the consulate general in Bombay was closed, and its responsibilities were transferred to the newly established legation in New Delhi.
