PV Krishna Reddy Seeks $700 Million Private Credit to Buy Megha Engineering Stake
PV Krishna Reddy, managing director of Megha Engineering Infrastructures Ltd., is seeking approximately $700 million from global private credit investors to buy out his uncle Pamireddy Pitchi Reddy's 43% stake in the company. A consortium including Davidson Kempner Capital Management, Elham Credit Partners, and Varde Partners is structuring the financing, though terms remain unsettled. This transaction would be among India's largest private credit deals this year, reflecting the growing role of private credit in funding major corporate acquisitions amid constraints faced by traditional lenders.
