India’s equity fundraising may not cross last year’s high of $60 billion this year: Jefferies | Company Business News
Jefferies expects India's equity fundraising to reach $55-60 billion this year, lower than 2025's record $60 billion. Weak dealmaking at the start of 2026, plus crude oil and global interest rate worries, are to blame. For business owners, going public stays viable: initial public offerings (IPOs) may add $1.5 trillion in market value over five to seven years. Start planning early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Jefferies expects India's equity fundraising to reach $55-60 billion this year, below 2025's record $60 billion.
- About $34 billion was raised so far this year across IPOs, block deals and QIPs.
- Jefferies sees IPOs adding about $1.5 trillion in market capitalisation over the next five to seven years.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are weighing a listing, speak to your CA or merchant banker about readiness and timing, since deal activity can shift with crude oil and global interest rate conditions.
