The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has signed debt agreements worth Rs 4070 bn to significantly boost infrastructure across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

MMRDA is also prioritizing integrated urban growth, with a focus on environmentally conscious and citizen-friendly infrastructure. The financing move marks one of the largest infrastructure investments in the region’s history. It signals the Maharashtra government’s intent to position MMR as a modern, globally competitive urban hub.

With the new funding pipeline secured, MMRDA will fast-track ongoing and upcoming projects, laying the foundation for a more connected and livable Mumbai Metropolitan Region over the next decade.
