Rs 496.3 million for Line 7 (Andheri East–Dahisar East), taking its tally to Rs 5.31192 billion.

According to the Finance Department, repayment of these secondary soft loans will begin only after the principal borrowed from the Asian Development Bank and New Development Bank is cleared—currently expected in February 2044—and repayment will occur in a single instalment.

The government has reiterated that these soft loans are strictly intended to meet tax and land acquisition liabilities, with reimbursement to the state commencing only once external loans tied to the metro lines are fully repaid. No penalty charges will apply. MMRDA must also maintain separate accounts for every expenditure category and provide detailed utilisation reports.
