The agreement secured a huge Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of USD 12 billion (INR 103,800 crore) and aims to establish MMR as a Global Economic Hub within five to seven years. Strengthening its international outreach, MMRDA participated in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Summit in Davos for the second consecutive year, successfully attracting investments worth USD 40 billion. Marking 50 years of strategic planning and infrastructure expansion, MMRDA continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the region's economic future.
The collaboration focuses on infrastructure enhancements, including Metro projects, roads, bridges, real estate, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), and sustainable blue and green infrastructure. A significant portion of the investment will be allocated to Mumbai 3.0 (KSC New Town, covering 323.24 sq. km.), as well as Special Planning Areas (SPAs) in the northern (1,006.76 sq. km.) and southern (673.33 sq. km.) regions of MMR.
Developments will include residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects, in addition to Logistics Parks, Data Centres, and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The initiative will focus on strengthening physical, digital, and social infrastructure to enhance urban living standards.
