India and Maldives Inaugurate Key Infrastructure Projects in Addu City

India and the Maldives have inaugurated several New Delhi-funded infrastructure projects in Addu City, including land reclamation and shore protection initiatives. India partnered with the Maldives government on an $80 million project to reclaim 184 hectares of land, completed earlier this year, to develop Addu as a regional hub and boost tourism and economic growth.
Additionally, a $70 million project for road and drainage redevelopment in Addu, funded by India, is nearing completion. Under the Indian line of credit, the Maldives government is also redeveloping Gan International Airport, enhancing connectivity between Addu Atoll, the Maldives, and the world.
