The current regulatory environment for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) in India is increasingly favorable, marked by a series of reforms to attract more investments and simplify procedures. Governed primarily by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012, the sector has seen relaxed norms for fund registration, operational flexibility, and tax benefits. Recent policy changes include the easing of foreign investment rules, streamlined approval processes, and initiatives to promote start-up funding. Additionally, the government’s focus on digitization and the start-up sector has opened new avenues for investments. However, the industry also navigates challenges such as regulatory complexities and exit mechanisms.
With a strong focus on Private Equity & Venture Capital, ELP’s dedicated team has been instrumental in assisting key stakeholders in private funds.
