Partners Group is seeking to raise at least $1 billion for a new India-focused buyout fund, according to a Reuters report. With this fund, the Switzerland-based private equity firm looks to deepen its exposure to one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
The planned vehicle would mark the firm’s inaugural India-focused buyout fund and is expected to attract both existing and new investors. Sources familiar with the matter said the fund structure is likely to be finalized in the coming weeks.
The strategy will operate alongside Partners Group’s global flagship private equity fund, which will continue investing in India. Combined, the firm’s total capital deployment into the country could reach approximately $2 billion over time.
The move comes amid rising global investor appetite for India, driven by strong public markets and improving exit opportunities. India recorded $60.7 billion across 1,475 private equity and venture capital deals in 2025, reflecting continued growth in both deal value and volume.
Partners Group joins a growing list of global investment firms expanding their footprint in India. Firms such as KKR, Blackstone, and Brookfield have all significantly increased their investment activity in the country in recent years.
Based in Zug, Switzerland, Partners Group manages approximately $86 billion in private equity assets and has invested around $125 billion globally since inception.
