Lighthouse Canton to invest over ₹12,500 crore in India’s real estate and private credit markets

Singapore-based global asset management firm Lighthouse Canton has announced plans to invest over ₹12,500 crore (USD 1.5 billion) in India over the next few years, strengthening its foothold in the country’s rapidly expanding private credit and real estate markets.

The company’s strategy includes allocating more than ₹8,300 crore (USD 1 billion) to private credit and approximately ₹4,200 crore (USD 500 million) to real estate projects within the next three to four years. This move underscores the growing interest of global investors in India’s alternative investment space, particularly in the mid-market segment.

So far, Lighthouse Canton has already invested around ₹2,900 crore (USD 350 million) across Indian alternative assets. Among its key investments is a 1.2 million sq. ft. life sciences real estate portfolio in Hyderabad, reflecting its focus on high-growth sectors that combine innovation, infrastructure, and long-term returns.

The firm currently manages an India-focused growth debt fund and an early-stage venture equity fund, offering capital solutions to high-potential companies across IT, SaaS, and emerging business sectors. Building on this foundation, Lighthouse Canton is also preparing to launch a new private credit fund, targeting between ₹950 crore and ₹1,430 crore (USD 113.8 million–170.7 million) by 2026.

With offices already established in multiple Indian cities, Lighthouse Canton is further planning expansion in Bengaluru and Mumbai, two of India’s most dynamic business and real estate hubs. The company believes India’s fast-growing economy, coupled with a maturing credit ecosystem, presents strong opportunities for investors seeking yield stability and market diversity.

This planned investment marks a significant step in Lighthouse Canton’s long-term commitment to India, positioning the country as a key market within its global portfolio.
