India's private credit market doubles to $25 billion in 5 years: Moody's

India's private credit market has doubled in size in the past five years to about USD 25 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) as of 2025 end, and will further expand amid strong financing demand, Moody's Ratings said on Thursday. However, the new RBI norms which allow banks to finance acquisitions will increase competition in a segment historically dominated by alternative capital. "While the new rules may benefit borrowers by lowering costs for financing and increasing its availability, they could compress yields and reduce deal flows for private credit providers for acquisition financing," Moody's said. As per the new RBI rules effective July 1, RBI, for the first time, has allowed banks to fund strategic acquisitions of equity shares and compulsorily convertible debentures, subject to certain conditions. Moody's said India's private credit market has expanded rapidly over the past five years, evolving from a source of financing primarily for distressed companies to a provide
