The loan agreement, finalised by JICA, highlights international collaboration and financial support towards India's infrastructure development goals. The funding will facilitate the completion of essential phases of Mumbai Metro Line 3, enhancing urban mobility and reducing travel time for millions of commuters in the city.

The upcoming inauguration of Phase 1, scheduled between July and September, is eagerly anticipated as a major milestone in Mumbai's transportation sector. It is expected to alleviate pressure on existing transportation networks and provide a reliable alternative for daily commuters.

As Mumbai Metro Line 3 progresses towards full operational capacity, stakeholders anticipate significant improvements in urban transportation efficiency and connectivity, contributing to Mumbai's sustainable growth and development objectives.
