Bengaluru finally plans to revive municipal bonds to fund city infrastructure.

Bengaluru was among India’s early issuers (1997) but hasn’t meaningfully used this route since. May be because of weak municipal balance sheets, poor revenue buoyancy (especially property tax) and fragmentation of local governance across multiple civic agencies

Under the plan:
• 5 city corporations will tap markets
• ₹200 crore each
• ₹1,000 crore total in the first phase

Municipal bonds can provide cheaper, market-based financing and reduce dependence on state grants. And a model used globally for urban infrastructure. #Economy #Policy
