Lighthouse Canton to Invest 1.5B USD in Indian Real Estate Sector

Singapore-based asset manager Lighthouse Canton has unveiled ambitious plans to invest more than $1.5 billion in India over the next three to four years, with a sharp focus on private credit and real estate amid the country's booming alternative assets market.

The firm intends to deploy over $1 billion into private credit and $500 million into real estate. This builds on its existing footprint, having already committed more than $350 million to Indian alternatives. A standout investment includes a 1.2 million square foot life sciences real estate portfolio in Hyderabad.

Lighthouse Canton manages an India-centric growth debt fund and an early-stage venture equity fund. It is set to launch a new private credit vehicle, aiming to raise between $113.8 million and $170.7 million by 2026. The fund will target mid-market companies in high-growth sectors such as IT and SaaS, capitalizing on India's expanding private credit landscape, which has drawn significant global capital.

"India's mid-market private credit segment offers compelling opportunities driven by economic growth and underserved financing needs," said a company spokesperson.

With seven offices already operational across India, Lighthouse Canton is expanding further into Bengaluru and Mumbai to bolster its on-ground presence. This move aligns with the firm's strategy to deepen ties in one of Asia's fastest-growing economies, where private credit is projected to surge as traditional banking tightens.
