Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two landmark transit projects worth nearly $4 billion on Wednesday, marking another milestone in his administration’s effort to modernize infrastructure in the world’s most populous country.
Modi will preside over the launch of the Navi Mumbai International Airport on Wednesday alongside billionaire Gautam Adani, whose conglomerate the Adani Group developed the project. Modi will also ring in the completion of the final phase of the newest metro line connecting southern and central Mumbai via the city’s first underground track.
The projects come online as the seaside metropolis pushes to overhaul its infrastructure and billions of dollars gush into logistics projects across the country.
