NEW DELHI: India saw 501 deals valued at $21.4 billion in the April-June period — highest quarterly volumes since Q2 2022 –a report said on July 5. This was due to an anticipated policy clarity from the upcoming budget as political stability is expected to boost investor confidence and drive deal activity in the next six months.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and private equity (PE) deals together stood at 467, valued at $14.9 billion which is a 9 per cent increase in volumes, according to the Grant Thornton Bharat Dealtracker.
This surge was largely due to four high-value deals by the Adani Group in the industrial materials and ports sectors, which accounted for 52 per cent of the total M&A values for the quarter.
The second quarter of FY25 featured one billion-dollar deal and 30 high-value deals (over $100 million), marking a 58 per cent increase in high-value deals compared to the previous quarter, which had only 19 high-value deals including three billion-dollar deals.
“The quarter witnessed robust private equity activity and large domestic deals. Despite a decline in cross-border deals due to geopolitical uncertainties, domestic investment remained strong,” said ShanthiVijetha, Partner, Growth, Grant Thornton Bharat.
