Today I visited the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System, a flagship project supported by ADB under the Indian government’s PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. This 82 km high-speed corridor will cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut from over three hours to about one hour. Along the corridor, the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific is supporting initiatives to train women for employment, entrepreneurship, and self-defense. I was pleased to meet the women benefitting from this important program. ADB has committed over $1 billion to this transformative rapid transit project, which is serving as a model for modern and sustainable urban mobility. Seeing firsthand how this project integrates multimodal connectivity and strengthens regional growth reinforces ADB’s commitment to India’s sustainable urban transformation.

Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt. @nsitharaman met Mr. Masato Kanda @ADBPresident, in New Delhi, today. Discussions focused on shaping the India-ADB partnership to be anchored in Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi’s vision for Viksit Bharat@2047. The Indian delegation emphasised the 'Budget Plus' and 'Finance Plus' approach for driving systemic change and fostering innovation to align with India’s “reform, perform and transform" approach, while urging for agility in responding to emerging national priorities. The Union Finance Minister highlighted the 'Antyodaya' principle — which aims at ensuring development reaches the last person in society. She urged deeper ADB support for integrated rural prosperity measures, including, creation of jobs and local entrepreneurship, and fostering innovation in agriculture, to transform villages into resilient communities. In alignment with the vision of #VisitBharat2047, FM emphasised on moving beyond basic infrastructure to achieve systemic urban governance reforms, transit oriented development, municipal finance strengthening. FM Smt. @nsitharaman underscored the critical role of private sector development for meeting India's infrastructure financing needs and encouraged @ADB_HQ to play a catalytic role in enabling private investment through policy support, de-risking mechanisms and strengthening the PPP ecosystem. The Union Finance Minister further emphasised on the importance of using India’s well-established country systems for various project implementation to support our development agenda Mr. Masato Kanda @ADBPresident assured support to India's vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 and committed continued support for India including, building on ADB's international experience and bringing in best practices, support to skill development, infrastructure, food systems transformation and leveraging private capital.
