Partners Group is seeking to raise at least $1bn for its inaugural India-focused buyout fund, as the firm accelerates its expansion in one of the fastest-growing private equity markets globally, according to a report by Reuters.

The Switzerland-based private equity firm is engaging both existing and new investors, with the fund structure expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.

The strategy will operate alongside Partners Group’s global flagship private equity fund, which will continue to deploy capital into India, bringing total potential investment in the market to around $2bn over time.

The move reflects increasing investor appetite for India, where strong public markets and improved exit opportunities have driven growing allocations from global private capital.

India attracted $60.7bn across 1,475 private equity and venture capital deals in 2025, highlighting sustained growth in both deal value and volume.

Partners Group joins a number of global firms increasing their exposure to the market, with KKR, Blackstone, and Brookfield all expanding investment activity in recent years.

The firm’s private equity platform manages around $86bn in assets and has invested $125bn globally since inception, supporting its ability to scale new regional strategies.
