India plans restrictions on private equity ownership of non-bank lenders

Friday, November 13, 2026 · first reported by Private Equity Wire

The Reserve Bank of India is drafting proposals under which a private equity firm could exercise control over just one non-bank lender, according to Reuters. The aim is to contain contagion if a global private equity firm or one of its affiliates runs into financial trouble.

Holdings of 15% or below would get lighter regulatory scrutiny. Bigger stakes that come with management control would be examined more closely. Public consultation would come first, and final rules could be issued in early 2027.
