Domestic Funds Lead India's Growing Private Credit Market Amid Real Estate Risk Concerns
India's private credit market is projected to grow over the next one to two years, with domestic funds capturing 74% of deal value in the first half of 2026, according to EY. Real estate remains the largest sector for private credit deployment at 35%, followed by healthcare and food and beverages. Despite its prominence, real estate is also viewed as the highest default risk sector. Other sectors like roads, energy, and manufacturing require monitoring. Investor sentiment is largely bullish, supported by strong banking capital buffers and credit growth.
