On Wednesday, HUDCO’s share price saw an impressive uptick, defying the downward trend of the Indian stock market triggered by the Reserve Bank of India’s recent monetary policy announcement. The shares surged by 1.73%, reaching ₹210.65 each on the BSE. This positive movement came on the heels of HUDCO’s announcement regarding its approval to issue Capital Gain Tax Exemption bonds, providing a significant boost to investor confidence.
HUDCO Secures Approval for Tax Exemption Bonds
In a crucial development, Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd (HUDCO) has received the green light from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to issue Capital Gain Tax Exemption bonds starting from April 1, 2025. According to a regulatory filing made on April 9, HUDCO stated:
“The CBDT has permitted us to issue bonds under Section 54EC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, effective from April 1, 2025.”
This move is expected to attract more investors, as it allows individuals to save on capital gains tax when they invest in these bonds.
Collaboration with MMRDA
In another exciting development, HUDCO has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on April 8, 2025. This agreement aims to create a collaborative framework for infrastructure projects within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
