India's Financial Markets See Rising International Investment and Deal Activity in 2026
India's financial markets are attracting significant international investment despite challenges like a weakening rupee and high corporate taxes. HSBC leads international banks in financing Indian companies across debt and equity, while private equity firms like Blackstone anticipate doubling assets under management. The financial services sector saw a 129% increase in deal value in Q3 2026, driven by large IPOs such as NSE and SBI Funds Management, and major investments like Bank of America's stake in Jio Credit. Indian retail investors are increasingly active, contributing to a growing and sophisticated market.
