It is expected to attract institutional investors and contribute towards funding ambitious projects aimed at improving transportation, reducing congestion, and enhancing quality of life for residents in Mumbai and its surrounding areas.

The funds raised will also support initiatives aimed at boosting economic growth, attracting investments, and creating employment opportunities through infrastructural development. MMRDA's strategic financial planning underscores its commitment to sustainable urban growth and resilience in the face of rapid urbanisation.
