MUMBAI, Aug 8 (Reuters) - A growing number of Indian alternative investment funds are expanding their private credit business, filling a void left by banks and non-bank lenders and mirroring a pick-up in activity across Asia. Private credit funds typically invest in debt or hybrid securities of unrated and lower-rated companies. Edelweiss Alternatives has invested 359 billion rupees in private credit and is looking to launch its next real estate credit fund. Vivriti Asset aims to add 15 billion rupees to the roughly 35 billion rupees it already manages in private credit, managing director Vineet Sukumar said. Private credit funds lend to these companies at 12%-18%, splitting transactions into tranches.

MUMBAI, June 27 (Reuters) - Goswami Infratech, a Shapoorji Pallonji group entity, closed India's largest debt issue from a low-rated company on Tuesday, signalling growing interest in high-yielding debt from local and global private credit funds, bankers and fund managers said. Goswami Infratech accepted bids worth 143 billion rupees ($1.74 billion), including from Edelweiss Special Opportunities Fund, Davidson Kempner, Ares Capital Management, Varde Partners and Cerberus Capital Management, the bankers said. "We are seeing money coming in from global asset managers, international development financial institutions and large pension funds in Indian private credit funds," said Vineet Sukumar, founder of Vivriti Asset Management, which also manages a private credit fund. Two recent changes in regulation have also provided a boost to private credit funds. The tweaks have led to more funds from high net worth individuals and family offices flowing into private credit funds, while elevated yields are further leading to attractive investment opportunities.
