India saw a record level of mergers and acquisitions in 2022, as companies sought to consolidate positions, and enter new segments, leading to some of the largest-ever transactions in sectors such as banking, cement and aviation.
The total value of M&A deals in India stood at $152 billion in 2022 (year-to-date) compared to $107 billion in 2021, according to Sonia Dasgupta, managing director and chief executive officer for investment banking at JM Financial.
India has defied the global downward trends in M&A by registering record deals in 2022 since 2018, Dasgupta added.
In 2018, M&A deals were worth $95 billion; in 2019 it was at $60 billion, and in 2020, it was $20.76 billion, JM Financial said, sourcing data for announced transactions from Mergermarket.
"Domestic deals took up a major share of the deals (72% by value and 52% by volume). Technology and financial services accounted for significant deal value representing over 30% of total deal value," she said.
