Patna and Kanpur Prepare Municipal Bond Issues to Fund Urban Infrastructure
Patna Municipal Corporation plans to issue Rs 200 crore in 10-year municipal bonds, marking Bihar's first such issuance this fiscal year. Kanpur Nagar Nigam is also preparing to raise Rs 125 crore soon. These bond issues aim to finance urban infrastructure improvements amid growing needs for better sanitation and flood management. While investor interest is evident, including bids from HUDCO and NaBFID, challenges remain as many municipalities lack reliable revenue sources for debt repayment. Mumbai's larger bond proposal remains on hold due to rising yields.
