Abstract

The article focuses on the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) approval of a USD 240 million loan for the expansion of the Metro network in Chennai. This funding is part of a larger USD 780 million facility approved in 2022 and will support the development of metro lines 3, 4, and 5, covering 20 km and adding 18 new stations designed for universal access and disaster resilience. The ADB aims to enhance daily travel safety and reliability while assisting Chennai in achieving its low-carbon development objectives. The project will also include upgrades to multimodal interchange areas to facilitate better transfers between different modes of transport, with completion anticipated by mid-2028.
