The Provincial Government of Dong Nai has been seeking investors for a 20 km extension of Ho Chi Minh City’s (HCMC) Metro Line 1 in Vietnam. The extension will start from Suoi Tien station, the final stop of the current line, and reach Ho Nai 3 Commune in Trang Bom District. Out of the 20 km, 18 km will lie within Dong Nai’s borders, passing through Bien Hoa City and featuring 12 stations and a 23.4-hectare depot.
The project is estimated to cost over 34.7 trillion VND (around USD 1.36 billion) and will be funded through a mix of central and local government budgets, land-use value, and a build-operate-transfer (BOT) model. Dong Nai’s government is finalizing project documents and plans to include the initiative in the 2025 Investment Promotion Conference. Coordination with Ho Chi Minh City has also been proposed to ensure infrastructure and technology integration across the regions.
