Mid-market investment banking firm Lodha Capital Markets has partnered with Reach Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions, it said in a statement, and cited the move was “to strengthen presence in India's expanding M&A landscape globally.”
Paras Shah, executive director and co-head, investment banking at Lodha Capital Markets, said in a statement: “India has witnessed robust growth in M&A deals over the past decade, with total deal value in 2024 reaching USD 116 billion.”
Reach Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions is a worldwide partnership consisting of 24 M&A advisory firms operating across 30 countries, according to information on its website.
“India has become one of the most dynamic M&A markets globally, with companies increasingly looking beyond borders for both inbound and outbound strategic transactions,” Paulo Cury, co-chair, Reach, said in a statement.
Investment banker Equirus Capital said in a recent report that the country’s consumer space saw 115 M&A deals in the January-September 2025 period, the highest in four years. The number is already higher than 100 deals reported in the whole of calendar 2022, the report added.
The development comes at a time when there has been a resurgence in investor interest across sectors, looking for growth capital to scale.
An EY report said M&A activity in India remains strong with a total deal value of US $50 billion in H1 2025, despite a decline in deal volume. The first half of 2025 witnessed a rise in big-ticket deals, with 10 transactions exceeding a billion dollars, reflecting a strategic shift in investor mindset. The power sector led M&A activity with US $8.5 billion, driven largely by the renewable energy sector's growth, according to the report.
India is poised to become the fourth-largest economy in the world, as per IMF projections. The economic ascent not only underscores India's growing influence on the global stage but also reflects a thriving M&A environment for domestic and international investors exploring emerging markets, the report added.
