In a report titled Pulse of private equity Q3’25 KPMG, a quarterly analysis of global private equity activity, KPMG said that by the end of Q3 2025, PE investment in India was just $14.9 billion across 217 deals, compared to $26.3 billion across 289 deals during all of 2024 private investment in India, but slow E5,2024. long-term outlook remains strong: KPMG New Delhi [India]: Private Equity investment in India was relatively soft in 2025, mainly driven by concerns over US tariff policies and other geopolitical issues, a KPMG report said on Monday. In a report titled Pulse of private equity Q3’25 KPMG, a quarterly analysis of global private equity activity, KPMG said that by the end of Q3 2025, PE investment in India was just $14.9 billion across 217 deals, compared to $26.3 billion across 289 deals during the entire current 2025 trend, the slowest trend for the entire 2025 could continue PE investment since 2019 and the slowest for deal volume since 2020, it said. “Despite some softness in its PE market at present, India is still considered a very attractive jurisdiction for PE investment given strong macro factors combined with its sizeable population, attractive demographics and growing domestic consumption,” KPMG said in its report. PE investment showed a much more optimistic trajectory for PE investment in India between 2020 and 2024. During that five-year period, the KPMG report said, India attracted more than USD 20 billion in PE deal value every year. The transaction volume was also very robust, reaching a record high of 289 transactions in 2024. KPMG highlighted that global private equity firms are increasingly acting as business builders in India, often acquiring majority stakes and investing operationally to scale companies rather than pursuing minority or pure financial investments. Many international funds have expanded their presence on the ground in India to strengthen local relationships and support portfolio companies. “India has incredibly strong macros, a growing population, the largest working-age population in the world, and some of the highest savings rates in the world. All this makes India a very attractive domestic consumer story. This is a huge draw for PE investors along with the significant amount of opportunity there is for PE players to come in, invest money and make money by building Head-based private enterprises in India,” KPM-based EG Enterprises said in India. At an industry level, the KPMG report said that the PE firms are taking a number of different approaches to building businesses in India. Some PE firms identify businesses within niche sectors and use them as a platform to bring in complementary businesses to build larger, more diversified companies. Others are acquiring similar small businesses and rolling them into a stronger whole that can drive better value and profitability, the report said. Some PE firms also direct their investments to businesses that are able to support other companies within their global portfolio or provide services to other companies to drive value across their ecosystem of investments, it said. The technology sector is one of the largest areas of PE investment in India. PE investors have also shown significant interest in the healthcare and life sciences space in India, the report said. Global PE investment remained resilient in the third quarter of 2025, reaching USD 537 billion across 4,062 announced deals, KPMG said in its report.
