PE/VC Inflows Surge 9% To $43 Bn In 2024

New Delhi: India’s private equity and venture capital (PE-VC) investments staged a recovery in 2024, growing by approximately nine per cent to reach $43 billion across close to 1,600 deals, with traditional sectors taking the lead in driving market growth, a report showed on Wednesday.

The recovery strengthened India’s position as Asia-Pacific’s second-largest PE-VC destination, capturing approximately 20 per cent of total investment and reflecting growing investor confidence in the country’s macroeconomic stability, according to the report by Bain & Company.

While India’s overall increase was primarily driven by VC and growth investments, PE investments maintained stability at $29 billion, as funds navigated high valuations in buoyant public markets, making deal closures more challenging.
