What happened
Boston Consulting Group published a report detailing trends in the Indian merger and acquisition (M&A) market. The firm found that M&A volumes in India declined by approximately 20 per cent year-on-year during the first seven months of 2026. Despite the volume contraction, overall deal value remained relatively steady, with large transactions absorbing the majority of the market activity.
Why it matters
The decline was concentrated primarily in smaller transactions, with deals valued below USD 1 million accounting for nearly half of the volume drop. The report suggests that while volumes are down, the market continues to reward transactions executed with conviction.
