Domestic private credit firms are significantly increasing their presence in India's lending market. In the first six months of 2026, homegrown funds were involved in 74% of the total private credit deal value. This marks a substantial shift, as local institutions now account for more than double the share previously held by international funds.
These Indian lenders are not only increasing their market share but also showing a growing capacity to manage larger and more complex financial transactions. This trend indicates a maturing domestic financial sector capable of competing effectively with global players for significant lending deals.
