India's Private Credit Market Doubles to $25 Billion, Faces Growing Bank Competition
India's private credit market has doubled to about USD 25 billion in assets under management over the past five years and is projected to reach USD 50 billion by 2030, driven by rising corporate funding needs and constraints on traditional banks. Real estate, infrastructure, and promoter financing are key sectors. Moody's notes that new Reserve Bank of India rules allowing banks to finance acquisitions may increase competition, potentially lowering costs for borrowers but compressing yields for private credit providers. Despite challenges, the market is gaining prominence as an alternative financing source amid strong economic growth.
