A group of private credit funds has given binding commitments to India's Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is raising as much as $3.3 billion in what could be the country's biggest private credit deal, according to people familiar with the matter.
At least a dozen funds have emailed their commitments as of last week with Ares Management Corp, Cerberus Capital Management LP, Davidson Kempner Capital Management, and Farallon Capital Management committing the largest amount, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
