Asian Development Bank (ADB) has unveiled a $10 billion five-year initiative to transform urban infrastructure across India.
The amount includes third-party capital and will be used for metro extensions, new regional rapid transit system corridors, and urban infrastructure and services.
The ADB has already worked with more than 110 cities across 22 states on water supply, sanitation, housing, and solid-waste management projects.
The ADB expects India’s GDP at 6.7% this year (FY2025-2026) and 6.8% next year (FY2026-2027).
This is 2 percentage points higher than the developing Asian economies.
ADB was founded in 1966, and owned by 69 members--50 from the region.
