Indian Civic Bodies Expected to Raise Rs 10,000 Crore via Green Municipal Bonds by 2030
Indian civic bodies are projected to raise around Rs 10,000 crore through green municipal bonds between FY2027 and FY2030 to support urban infrastructure development. According to ICRA, India requires over Rs 56 lakh crore in urban infrastructure investment during this period, with up to Rs 3 lakh crore expected from commercial debt financing. Eligible projects include water supply, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, renewable energy, and climate-resilient infrastructure. While investor demand is strong, municipalities face challenges like credit quality and project readiness to access capital markets sustainably.
