The information was revealed in a pre-feasibility study of the project, which was approved by Binh Duong People's Committee on March 13.

According to the study, the metro will involve S1 Station in Binh Duong New City centre, Hoa Phu ward, and Thu Dau Mot city. The ending point connects with Suoi Tien Station of Ho Chi Minh City's Metro Line 1.

This line will span 32.4km, which includes a depot connecting section, and will pass through Tan Uyen, Thu Dau Mot, Thuan An, and Di An.

With an estimated investment capital of $2.52 billion, the metro line is set to feature 19 stations and with a designated speed of 120km/h.

Once completed, the venture will improve connectivity with Ho Chi Minh City, ease traffic congestion, and create growth drivers for local socioeconomic development.

Binh Duong is considering utilising official development assistance alongside budget capital to implement the construction of the first urban railway project in the locality.
