Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates | India's private credit market doubles to USD 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.

For June, Nifty is up 2.5% while Kospi and Nasdaq are down 11.5% and 3%, respectively. Whether India’s outperformance will continue or not will be determined to a large extent by the progress of the monsoon, which continues to be unsatisfactory. The strength in the banking segment and digital platform companies is likely to continue in anticipation of good Q1 results.
- VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments
Despite the sideways movement, the short-term trend remains positive, with the index showing resilience throughout the session. However, momentum continues to be subdued. Going forward, the bullish bias is likely to remain intact as long as the Nifty holds above the 23,800 support level. On the higher side, the index may continue its slow but steady upward trajectory, with the potential to move towards 24,200 and higher over the near term.
