India Proposes Limits on Private Equity Control of NBFCs and Enhances Private Credit Recovery Powers
India's central bank is proposing rules to restrict private equity firms from controlling stakes in multiple non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to prevent financial contagion risks. Control is defined by ownership or management influence, with smaller stakes attracting less scrutiny. Separately, India is considering granting private credit funds greater loan recovery powers under the Sarfaesi Act to enhance lending and reduce borrowing costs, especially for small and medium enterprises. These measures aim to strengthen financial stability and expand credit access.
