The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced plans to raise Rs.140 billion through bond issuance to support its extensive urban infrastructure projects. This move aims to bolster funding for critical developments across Mumbai and its surrounding areas.

The bond issuance will be conducted in phases, with detailed plans and schedules to be announced soon. The MMRDA is confident that this financial strategy will facilitate the timely execution of its ambitious projects, addressing critical urban challenges and supporting sustainable development.

Overall, this significant funding initiative underscores MMRDA's commitment to transforming Mumbai into a modern, efficient, and livable city through enhanced infrastructure and development.
