The Nashik Municipal Corporation listed Maharashtra's first Urban Local Body (ULB) Green Municipal Bond on the National Stock Exchange on March 9, 2026 in the presence of CM Devendra Fadnavis. The proceeds will fund sustainable infrastructure including renewable energy installations, waste management systems, and clean transport projects.

Green bonds are fixed-income instruments specifically earmarked for climate and environmental projects. Several Indian cities including Lucknow, Indore, and Ghaziabad have previously issued green municipal bonds. The Nashik issuance demonstrates growing municipal capacity to tap capital markets for sustainable urban development.
