The Indian private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) segment recorded 77 billion U.S. dollars from 1,270 deals in 2021. In the last three years, the country has been outperforming in this sector, and the investment deal volume had increased significantly.
Same level, different foci
In comparison to the previous year, the value of investments slightly increased by 300 million U.S. dollars. The number of deals decreased after three years of constant growth in numbers. Whereas the value of PE and VC deals remained on its high level, the foci of investments within segments, changed significantly. In 2019, the infrastructure sector and the financial services segment attracted the highest investment values. These positions were taken over by the telecommunication sector and the retail and consumer products segment.
Trends of the decade: big deals and buy-outs
From 2018 to 2020, buy-outs emerged as a major trend in PE and VC investments with a sharp increase both in value and in numbers. The trend of large deals valued at more than 500 million U.S. dollars or more than one billion U.S. dollars increased in the last three years of the decade. The telecommunication sector was not only attractive for PE and VC investments in 2020, but also received an increasing value of foreign direct investments.
