November 16, 2007 - India has become the leading destination for private equity investments in Asia, new figures reveal.
According to data from Indus View Advisors, private equity investments in India have hit $10 billion in so far this year.
The lion's share of the investment was in the infrastructure and real estate sectors, which collectively accounted for $5 billion of the total, covering 52 deals.
In second place in Asia was China, which attracted $8.3 billion worth of deals.
India's private equity investment sector now accounts for one per cent of the country's GDP.
This compares with 2.3 per cent for the US and 3.3 per cent for the UK.
Bundeep Singh Rangar, chairman of IndusView, said: ''India's private equity market can expand fourfold using deal value as a per cent of Gross Domestic Product and maintain the top slot ahead of China, its nearest competing economy, and the infrastructure sector will provide the necessary edge."
