The Indian stressed loan landscape has witnessed serious tectonic shifts over the past few years – a strong regulatory push for early identification & resolution of NPAs, the enactment of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), and the empowerment of specialized distressed asset Investors through a series of Investor-friendly measures. The Indian Government is pushing ahead rapidly to create an active secondary market for debt trading.
Global Investors are keen to capitalize on this great opportunity, brought about by a combination of large supply of Non-Performing Assets in a high-growth economy. Several large PE funds and turnaround Investors have already entered the market in partnership with Indian entrepreneurs and are on the lookout for suitable opportunities. The increasing presence of hedge funds and high yield Investors is creating market liquidity. Resolution visibility of stressed cases, both under IBC as well as pre-IBC, is improving, creating attractive opportunities for distressed debt trades.
