India Growth Equity 2026

India continues to witness rapid growth in its private investments' ecosystem. This expansion is driven by a diverse range of investors, including domestic and international private investment funds. Against a challenging global macroeconomic environment, India has continued to demonstrate relatively strong economic growth and sustained investor interest. The country’s large domestic market, improving digital infrastructure, and expanding entrepreneurial ecosystem continue to support long-term capital deployment. Within this environment, 2025 has proven to be a pivotal year, with US$ 16.5B raised by private investment funds and US$ 59.3B invested across 1,885 deals. Growth investments have seen a slight decline from US$ 10.4B in 2024 to US$ 10.2B in 2025, although number of growth deals increased from 227 to 328 as deal sizes reduced with increasing number of smaller growth deals. Furthermore, US$ 5.1B (59% higher than 2024) was raised by India focused growth funds in 2025 giving them enough dry powder to increase deal activity and investments over the next few years.
