Infrastructure bonds today are ordinary corporate bonds issued by companies building roads, ports, energy, and urban infrastructure. They differ from the tax-saving 80CCF infrastructure bonds discontinued in 2012 — current infrastructure bonds carry no special tax exemption and are evaluated like any corporate bond: by rating, yield, and tenure.
Infrastructure bonds today are ordinary corporate bonds issued by companies that build and operate roads, ports, energy, and urban infrastructure. They are distinct from the Section 80CCF tax-saving infrastructure bonds that were discontinued in 2012 — current infrastructure bonds carry no special tax exemption. Infrastructure projects involve long gestation periods, execution risk, and significant leverage, which is why credit rating and security structure matter especially in this sector. Listed infrastructure bonds typically yield 8–12% depending on the issuer's rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the same as 80CCF tax-saving infrastructure bonds?
No. Section 80CCF infrastructure bonds, which offered an extra income-tax deduction, were discontinued in 2012 and no longer exist for new investment. Infrastructure bonds listed today are ordinary corporate bonds from infrastructure companies, with no special tax exemption — interest is taxable at your slab rate.
What do infrastructure company bonds typically yield?
Listed infrastructure bonds typically yield 8–12% depending on the issuer's credit rating, the project profile, and tenure. The spread over similarly rated bonds in other sectors reflects infrastructure-specific risks like long project timelines and leverage.
What risks apply to infrastructure bonds?
Long gestation periods before projects generate cash, construction and execution risk, high leverage, refinancing risk, and dependence on government counterparties or concession terms. The credit rating and whether the bond is secured against project assets are the main signals to read.
