CHENNAI: Private Equity-Venture Capital (PE-VC) in India crossed $20 billion mark in Jan-July this year (CY2026). However, it is nearly 6% lower than $21.5 billion recorded in the corresponding seven month period (Jan-July) last year (CY2025) .July 2026 recorded an investment of $3 billion, which is flat against $3.2 billion in the same month in 2025, data released by research firm Venture Intelligence showed. Global investment firm Brookfield\u2019s Lumara, a renewable energy platform, led the PE-VC investments deals in July, with an investment of about $600 million. It took the cumulative investments to $20.3 billion this year comprising 756 deals. The PE-VC investments do not include those relating to the real estate sector.Arun Natarajan, founder, Venture Intelligence said, the investments highlighted the continued long-term faith global and domestic investors have in India\u2019s private markets, amid geopolitical challenges and volatile public markets depressing IPO activity. \u201cHealthy exits notched up by investors in recent months \u2014 including via the Meta-CRED deal and public market sales \u2014 offer a strong reason for optimism,\u201d he told TOI.In recent months, PE investors are laying emphasis on sectors, such as infrastructure (especially renewable power companies), manufacturing (automobile and auto components in particular) and data centres, apart from the traditional sectors like NBFCs and healthcare. \u201cVC investors are doubling down on B2B software startups, including special emphasis on AI-enabled companies like Sarvam AI and Emergent Labs,\u201d he added.Natarajan said, private markets in India showed an impressive resilience across H1 2026. \u201cSo long as global macro conditions stay relatively stable, the total PE-VC deployment this year can be expected to land roughly on par with 2025,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
