<\/span>India needs up to \u20b986 trillion by FY31 to fix its cities, and SEBI is betting on municipal bonds to help close the gap. This article unpacks SEBI’s pooled financing proposal for smaller towns, walks through Mumbai’s landmark \u20b99,500 crore bond debut, and explains why India’s municipal debt market still makes up less than 1% of total bond sales, even as the country races toward its 2047 developed-economy goal.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The country needs between \u20b982 trillion and \u20b986 trillion by FY31 just to build the roads, water systems, and sewage networks its urban population requires, according to estimates cited by Rajkiran Rai G., managing director of the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID), India’s biggest infrastructure financier. <\/p>
