India's Private Equity Investments Projected to Reach Nearly $29 Billion in 2026
India's private equity (PE) market shows resilience in 2026, with investments projected to reach around USD 28.79 billion across over 1,200 deals despite a decline in exit values during the first half of the year. While PE exits fell by about one-third compared to 2025, investments remain strong, particularly in sectors like healthcare, financial services, consumer goods, and manufacturing. Investors are focusing on high-growth, profitable businesses, including family-owned enterprises, and are increasingly consolidating assets to create larger platforms and unlock value.
