HUDCO will consider providing term loans for eligible projects, subject to its prevailing lending policies, due diligence, availability of adequate loan security, and individual project sanctions.

The indicative sector-wise allocation includes ₹10,000 crore for housing projects, ₹70,000 crore for core and non-core infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage, drainage, roads, electricity, smart cities, metro projects, airports, industrial parks, social and commercial infrastructure, educational institutions, hospitals, logistics hubs, IT infrastructure, civil aviation, mining institutions, and rural infrastructure. Power projects and renewable and other projects are earmarked ₹10,000 crore each.

HUDCO stated that the MoU is an in-principle arrangement and does not create any binding obligation on either party. The Chhattisgarh government does not directly commit to repayment of loans sanctioned by HUDCO, though it may consider issuing government guarantees for projects as per its policy. Agencies are also free to raise funds from other lenders if better terms are available.
