The planned ₹200 crore issuance by Patna Municipal Corporation will be priced at an estimated 150 to 175 basis points above the 10-year benchmark yield, which recently climbed to 7.44%.

While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation postponed its own record-sized offering due to rising yields, Kanpur Nagar Nigam is advancing plans to raise ₹125 crore in the near term.
