Mumbai, 23 June (IANS). In May this year, private equity and venture capital (PE-VC) investment in India reached $ 2.4 billion through 97 deals. This information was given in a report on Monday.
The EY-IVCA report stated that the highest deal last month was through startup investment, followed by growth investment of $ 0.7 billion.
From the sector point of view, the Financial Service Top Sector was in May, with a $ 758 million investment, followed by Real Estate ($ 380 million).
Vivek Soni, partner and national leader of Private Equity Services in EY, said, “PE/VC activity remains lethargic, as the flow of limited deal and a decrease in large deals (deals more than $ 100 million) shows a decrease. Geophysical stress, American tariff policy and other external obstacles have weakened investors, which resulted in investors, resulting in investors, resulting in investor. Weight-end-watches are adopting approach. ”
In terms of the number of deal, pure-play investment declined by 16 percent, while real estate and infrastructure asset classes fell by 64 percent on an annual basis. PE/VC exit in 18 deal in May stood at $ 1 billion. In May 2025, 77 percent of the total exit price ($ 797 million) was of open market exit.
According to Sony, the difference between the seller’s expectations and the evaluation of the buyer has not yet been meaningful, which has reduced the PE/VC investment activity.
“At the domestic level, strong GST collection, the lower level of Indian rupee from the lower level at the domestic level, and the initial signs of positive speed through the recent rates made by the Reserve Bank of India are emerging, which is expected to improve the liquidity and promote deal-making.”
He said, “We hope that due to decrease in global uncertainties and geopolitical conflicts and conversion of bids between vendors and buyers, these factors are likely to accelerate in the second half of the year.
