Regulatory changes are adding to the pull
“What’s making this more than a market-appetite story is that 2026’s regulatory overhaul is actively reshaping how lawyers structure exits,” said Akshat Pande, managing partner at corporate legal advisory firm Alpha Partners. “A relaxed Press Note 3 on FDI eligibility, a Finance Act 2026 that puts trade sales, buybacks, and secondary (LP-to-LP or GP-led) transfers on distinct capital-gains regimes, and raised buyback thresholds,” he said, are making alternate exits even more lucrative.
