India's M&A Activity Shows Resilience Amid Market Challenges and Overseas Expansion
India's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity remains resilient despite challenges like a weaker rupee and equity market slump. While overall deal value declined by over 19% year-to-date, the number of deals stayed stable, reflecting strategic rather than financial-driven transactions. Mid-market Indian firms are increasingly pursuing overseas acquisitions, supported by stronger balance sheets and improved financing options following RBI policy relaxations. Key sectors showing robust activity include healthcare, consumer, infrastructure, and technology, with growing partnerships between Indian and Chinese companies anticipated.
