Maldives launches India-backed infrastructure projects

The ground-breaking ceremony for development of the Hulhumalé Central Park and renovation of the arrival jetty in Maldives, financed by India, was held recently, marking another milestone in Delhi's growing partnership with Male. The project is being executed by the HDC through an approximate Rs.10 mn Maldivian grant assistance from India. It is included in the 18 grant projects being funded by India in the Maldives under a total grant assistance of MVR 106 mn extended in 2019. The Central Park is the heart of Hulhumalé, the reclaimed island near Malé being developed to meet the existing and future housing, industrial and commercial development demands of the Malé region.
