The private equity (PE)/ venture capital (VC) capital continues to remain subdued in India, witnessing a limited deal flow and reduction in large deals (above $100 million). According to the latest IVCA-EY report, PE/VC investments slowed 68 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) and 53 per cent month-on-month in May 2025 to $2.4 billion. The count of deals also lowered 24 per cent Y-o-Y in May 2025.
