RBI considers barring PE firms from controlling stakes in multiple NBFCs

The Reserve Bank of India is weighing a prohibition on private equity firms holding majority stakes in several non-banking financial companies at once. The proposed rules would separate controlling holdings from smaller investments, with minor stakes expected to draw lighter oversight. The move comes as foreign investors show growing interest in India's financial sector. Major global firms, including Blackstone and Temasek, have already made significant deals there. The regulations remain under consideration and have not yet been finalised.
