Data fromDealogic shows since the calendar year up toJune 22, India attracted $25.5 billion worth of inboundmerger and acquisition deals.     
 
 This is 26 per cent less than the amount of deal that took place over the corresponding period a year ago and this is the lowest year-to-date level since 2009, when it stood at $12 billion.
 
 The second quarter of this year saw a significant slump in the M&A activity as just $3.7 billion worth of transactions were announced against $21.8 billion worth deals that were announced in the first quarter of 2012.
 
 The April-June quarter saw the lowest quarterly level since the fourth quarter of 2011, when it stood at $ 3.6 billion, Dealogic said.
 
 In a similar vein, India outbound M&As -- wherein Indian companies acquire assets abroad -- has reached $2.7 billion till June 22, down from the $6.4 billion announced in the same 2011 period and marks lowest year-to-date level since 2009, when it stood at $503 million.
 
 According to experts, there has been a moderation in deal momentum this year largely owing to global economic concerns (mainly around Europe) and the Indian economic concerns.
