RBI Proposes Limits on Private Equity Control in Multiple Non-Bank Lenders
India's Reserve Bank is considering rules to prevent private equity firms from holding controlling stakes in multiple non-bank lenders to reduce systemic financial risks. Control is defined as a stake of 25% or the ability to appoint a majority of directors. Smaller investments under 15% would face less scrutiny to encourage growth. The draft rules are expected after public consultation and may be issued early next year. Foreign investment in non-bank lenders remains strong amid robust credit demand and low delinquencies.
