HUDCO shares jump 4% after signing Rs 25,000 crore MoU with Bihar government for infrastructure development
HUDCO shares jumped nearly 4% after the company signed an MoU with the Government of Bihar to provide financial assistance of up to Rs 25,000 crore over five years for industrial infrastructure and land acquisition. The development comes after HUDCO signed another Rs 1 lakh crore MoU with Bihar in July for urban infrastructure projects.
Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) shares surged nearly 4% on Thursday, reaching a peak of Rs 184.69 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This surge followed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by HUDCO with the Government of Bihar to provide up to Rs 25,000 crore in financial assistance for infrastructure development.
The MoU, valid for three years from execution, is intended to facilitate HUDCO's planning, development, and financing of industrial parks in Bihar, in line with state government regulations. HUDCO would provide funds on flexible terms, potentially through a moratorium period and a flexible repayment schedule extending up to 25 years, with an option for prepayment.
The loan could be repaid by escrowing revenue from the projects or by ring-fencing other revenue sources from identified receivables or the state budget. The MoU was previously signed in July 2026, focusing on term loans for Greenfield Satellite Cities in Bihar. As of 2026, HUDCO's stock had declined 19.68% in the year, but showed resilience with a three-year gain of 139% and a five-year gain of 321%.
