Private credit is rapidly reshaping global capital markets.

 

India’s largest private credit deal, the $3.4bn Shapoorji Pallonji refinancing, signals a shift. Large corporates are now turning to private debt not out of necessity but as a strategic tool for refinancing, asset monetisation and growth.

 

Globally, the scale is even more striking. After years of the $5.3bn Finastra deal setting the benchmark, the Blue Owl–Meta JV has redefined what private markets can underwrite.

 

The $27bn Hyperion data centre financing is groundbreaking not just for its size but for its structure:
– Meta contributes land and construction in progress
– Blue Owl provides the largest private debt issuance on record
– Meta receives $3bn upfront, about $7bn in committed funding, and keeps project level debt off its balance sheet

 

Investors such as PIMCO and BlackRock bought into a private bond priced around 225 bps over Treasuries, a clear signal of demand for long duration, collateral backed yield.

 

For Blue Owl, protection comes from hard asset collateral, lease linked cash flows, and a 16 year shortfall guarantee, blending infrastructure style risk mitigation with private credit style returns.

 

These transactions mark a broader shift. Private credit is moving deeper into real estate, digital infrastructure and industrial assets, segments long dominated by banks and sovereign investors. Asset heavy corporates are unlocking more flexible and efficient capital stacks, while lenders gain access to predictable cash flows and strong collateral at a premium to public markets.

 

At SCA, we are working with businesses to tap this evolving landscape, from refinancing large exposures to monetising operating assets and structuring scalable financing platforms.
