Economic Times

Medial
India's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity has surged, with 2025 seeing nearly $41 billion in deals, a 3% increase from last year. The growth is driven by significant cross-border transactions and investments from global private equity funds and local firms. Major deals include Tata Motors acquiring Iveco's commercial vehicle business and Schneider Electric buying a stake in its joint venture. India's robust capital markets and strategic investments are fostering long-term growth, despite potential geopolitical challenges.

The Indian startup ecosystem may experience another year of slow deal activity in 2024, following the abysmal funding performance of 2023. The number of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) almost halved to 123 in 2023 from 240 deals in 2022. Distress sales were a common occurrence, with many startups opting for consolidation deals as a survival tactic. Enterprise tech led the consolidation charge with 33 deals, followed by ecommerce and fintech. The falling interest rates and startup valuations, along with global uncertainties, may sustain a certain degree of deal activity despite the funding challenges.
