Ho Chi Minh City seeks investors for nine metro lines

•

Ho Chi Minh City is inviting investors to participate in nine urban metro and rail projects under its 2026–2030 investment-attraction plan, including extensions and new lines that would expand the city’s rail network and connect key urban and economic areas.

Investment-attraction plan for 2026–2030

The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has issued a decision listing projects to attract investment for the 2026–2030 period. The list is intended to align with the city’s development orientation toward 2030, with a vision to 2045, as set out in Politburo Resolution 31-NQ/TW dated 30-12-2022.

Alongside projects already included in the list, investors may propose additional projects or land parcels. Investor selection will be carried out in accordance with prevailing laws on investment, land, planning, and related regulations at the time of file reception.

The city assigns the Finance Department to lead and coordinate with relevant departments and district authorities to support investors interested in researching and completing investment procedures. The committee will also update detailed information, review proposals for adjustments, and supplement investment-attraction projects, land status, legal bases, processes, and investment incentives and support policies.
