India

Rothschild has a long-established presence in India, with offices in Mumbai and New Delhi.

Our ongoing investment in the country reflects our understanding of India as a fast-growing M&A market. We provide a full range of financial advisory solutions to large and mid-sized Indian corporations and government entities, as well as supporting international clients in strategic transactions involving Indian companies.

Each assignment is led from start to finish by senior Rothschild bankers, who bring together a wealth of experience in government and corporate finance including private equity fund raisings and exits, privatisations, cross-border and domestic M&A, debt and equity financing, restructurings, and project finance.

As a company in continuous family ownership for more than 200 years, we understand how India’s successful family businesses operate. Our global reach allows clients to leverage Rothschild’s extensive network of contacts and sector expertise, connecting Indian clients with overseas assets, investors and financing sources.

As the preferred adviser for many of India’s leading corporations, we have advised on some of the highest profile transactions in the country. Our recent assignments include advising Cairn Energy on its US$6 billion disposal of a 40% stake in Cairn India to Vedanta Resources, Mahindra & Mahindra on its US$463 million acquisition of a 70% stake in Ssangyong Motor Co, and McCormick & Company on its US$115 million acquisition of an 85% stake in Kohinoor Foods Limited’s Indian rice and food business.
