Municipal Debt Securities Public Issue
Specialized advisory for Urban Local Bodies to raise capital via Public Issues of Municipal Debt Securities (MDS).
Empowering Indian Cities to Raise Capital for the Public Good
Urban India is once again on the fast track to growth, but the entire system is struggling to meet the demand for sustainable, contemporary infrastructure. India IPO provides a platform for the municipal bodies of India to access the capital markets via Public Issues of Municipal Debt Securities (MDS) — a regulated, transparent and inclusive mechanism for financing public infrastructure projects.
What Are Municipal Debt Securities?
Municipal Debt Securities Public Issue (MDS) are the bonds issued by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) such as city corporations to fetch capital from the general public to finance various important and essential infrastructure projects such as roads, water supply systems, waste collection systems, transport hubs and green energy, etc.
With the help of Public Issued Municipal Debt Securities, cities will no longer need to depend only on government grants or rely on internal revenues, but will now have direct access to retail and institutional investor interest, meaning citizens will have a direct stake in the development of their city.
