Singapore-based asset manager Lighthouse Canton plans to invest more than Rs. 13,244 crore (US$ 1.5 billion) in India over the next few years, focusing on private credit and real estate. The firm aims to deploy over Rs. 8,829 crore (US$ 1 billion) in private credit and Rs. 4,415 crore (US$ 500 million) in real estate within three to four years. Managing Director-Chief Executive Officer, Global Asset Management, Mr. Sanket Sinha, said India would be one of the firm’s top investment destinations in the alternatives space. Lighthouse Canton has already invested over Rs. 3,090 crore (US$ 350 million) in Indian alternative assets and manages a 1.2 million square-foot life sciences real estate portfolio in Hyderabad.
The company plans to launch an India-focused private credit fund by January 2026, targeting Rs. 1,000-1,500 crore (US$ 113-169 million). Managing Director, Business Head - India Alternatives (Credit & Hybrid Strategies), Mr. Pranob Gupta, said the fund will focus on cross-border opportunities, acquisition financing, and cash-flow-positive sectors such as IT and SaaS. India’s private credit market, valued at Rs. 2,20,725-2,64,870 crore (US$ 25-30 billion) as of March 2025, is gaining traction amid rising demand for non-bank financing.
