Private Credit Yields Decline as New Financing Options Expand in India
Private credit deals in India are seeing lower yields due to increased competition and regulatory changes expanding financing options. In the first half of 2026, 67% of private credit transactions were priced below 18%, down from 80% above 18% in 2023, according to Houlihan Lokey. Banks entering acquisition financing and relaxed external commercial borrowing rules have broadened capital sources. Lenders are now focusing on complex, tailored deals to achieve differentiated returns amid a changing yield environment.
