PE RUSH SEEN LIFTING VALUATIONS

The hanging uncertainty in the capital markets and the ensuing fall in company valuations have triggered an influx of private equity (PE) funds. But a likely overcrowding could stretch valuations. The 30% fall in stock markets, from January, has led to a greater appetite for PE funds, but many deals were stuck over high valuations. Now, with promoters seeing a prolonged stability in the market at the current levels, and with no immediate upswings in sight, the time is again ripe for PE. The BSE Sensex, which had touched 21,000 in early January, is now languishing over the 14,000-mark.
