INDIA MACRO TAILWINDS
INDIA PRIVATE CREDIT
A GROWING OPPORTUNITY

Evolving Investor Behaviour:
A strategic shift in asset allocation is
underway, with investors increasingly
favouring alternative investments for
diversification and yield enhancement

Credit Dislocation Advantage: Traditional lenders (banks and NBFCs) are pulling back, opening a significant funding gap for private credit funds to capture.
Macro Tailwind:
With India on track to become the world’s 3rd largest economy by 2029, private credit is positioned as a key enabler of the next phase of growth.
Expanding Market:
Private credit AUM in India is projected to reach USD 60–70 billion by 2028, accounting for ~1–1.2% of the projected GDP
Strong Credit Demand:
India’s accelerating economic expansion and dynamic mid-market ecosystem are fueling a robust and sustained demand for credit capital.
Reform-Driven Growth:
Landmark structural reforms: GST, IBC, RERA, and DBT; have strengthened governance, transparency, and market efficiency, creating a long-term runway for sustainable credit growth

SEIZING THE MOMENT:

WHY PRIVATE CREDIT LEADS NOW

TRADITIONAL CAPITAL

SOURCES ARE RETREATING

Banks
  • Increasing focus on retail lending and low-risk credit exposure.
  • Preference for ‘A’ and above-rated instruments, avoiding complex or bespoke credit structures.
  • Challenged in compliance and RBI regulation limiting flexibility

Mutual Funds

  • Restricted participation in
    structured or
    special-situation credit
  • Tilt towards high-rated
    corporates and
    standardized instruments
    due to tighter risk mandates
  • Limited bandwidth for deal
    origination and underwriting
    customized credit
    opportunities
NBFCs
  • Tighter regulatory oversight, especially for bank-linked NBFCs.
  • Constrained flexibility to address niche, high-yield, or special-situation financing needs.
PRIVATE CREDIT FUNDS ARE
FILLING THE GAP
  • Expertise in Structured Credit: Deep understanding of
    bespoke lending models and complex financing structures.
  • Evolving Market Acceptance: AIF led private credit has
    gained significant traction and investor confidence
    over the last 5 years.
  • Flexible Capital Solutions: Ability to provide patient,
    customized capital aligned with borrower needs; unlike
    banks or mutual funds
  • Untapped Mid-Market Opportunity: Large segments of
    mid-sized enterprises remain underserved by traditional
    lenders, offering strong risk-adjusted return potential.
