As per the estimated cash flow of MMRDA, it will get good revenue from its projects and other sources of income in the next 25 years. Looking at its non-receipt sources of revenue and its actual period of project implementation, in the next five years, it will require Rs 60,000 crore, an official told the media.

According to an official, it was approved during the meeting to raise funds of Rs 60,000 crore for the projects. MMRDA approved the government guarantee and other guarantees required for raising funds for the project.

As per the work mentioned in the proposal for raising funds, SBI Capital Markets will be paid 0.2% as a fundraising fee from the total loan amount. MMRDA can also appoint three expert staff for fundraising through outsourcing and take further steps required for the implementation of the project.
