Tandon said that this first municipal bond of UP has subscribed over 225 percent. Now after listing on BSE, it will also be available for trading.
The Urban Development Minister said that the funds raised through bonds will be invested in various infrastructure schemes in the state capital. In the first week of November, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation raised Rs 200 crore by issuing municipal bonds through the BSE Bond platform.
Significantly, the investors will get 8.5 percent annual interest on Lucknow Municipal Corporation bonds and the maturity period is 10 years.
It is expected that the successful launch of this bond will change the picture of Lucknow Municipal Corporation and will also help in raising investment from India and abroad.
With this, the government’s municipal bonds of other districts will also be released soon. CM Yogi Adityanath said that there will be no shortage of funds to provide basic facilities to the public after the Municipal Bond is listed on the stock exchange.
