To address these challenges, the article presents potential financing mechanisms for Indian ULBs to finance their low-carbon infrastructure needs. These mechanisms include municipal green bonds, aggregation models, risk mitigation facilities and carbon credit trading. The article provides examples of such mechanisms used by ULBs in India or abroad and addresses existing policy gaps and capacity issues to ensure the effective use of these mechanisms by Indian ULBs.- Reproduced   aMunicipal green bonds, Low-carbon infrastructure, Climate finance, Carbon credits, ULB finances.  940998  aNagarlok: Quarterly Journal of Urban Affairs    aURBAN DEVELOPMENT  cAR  00102ddc40709398951aIIPAbIIPAd2023-10-13h55(2), Jun, 2023: p.62-68pAR129787r2023-10-13yAR
