Most Active Private Equity Firms In 2011
18.05.12
The year 2011 had seen 454 PE deals worth $9.4 billion with both volume and value up 12 per cent, compared to 2010 (we kept tabs till Dec 10, 2011). While PE deal-making surpassed the volume and the value of the entire CY2010 in the first three quarters of 2011, the momentum slipped during the fourth quarter.
In terms of value, infrastructure continued to attract the big dollar inflow. However, the action was shifting towards transportation and alternative energy in contrast to conventional energy play that ruled 2010. The year also witnessed increased interest from global buyout shops who continued to dominate the manufacturing space with two big-ticket deals.
Incidentally, the ranking below is based on the announced deal value. If the deal value is not known, it will not reflect. The list also takes into consideration development finance institutions and sovereign wealth funds as they have been active investors in India over the past decade. We have only considered private equity transactions for this ranking.
