The Executive Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee has issued Resolution No. 30-NQ/TU dated October 5, 2026, on the policy of signing contracts and making advance payments for the construction investment projects of five urban railway lines, with the aim of accelerating implementation and completing the projects by 2030.
Coordinated Development of the Urban Railway Network
According to the stated direction, the simultaneous implementation of these urban railway lines is considered an important and urgent task to develop strategic transport infrastructure in an integrated manner, expand urban development space, create new growth drivers, and enhance public passenger transport capacity in the capital.
Based on the proposal of the Party Committee of the Hanoi People's Committee, the Executive Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee has agreed in principle to assign the relevant authorities to continue considering, within their respective jurisdictions, the selection of the consortium comprising Vinhomes Joint Stock Company and SGC Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company as the designated contractor for negotiations and the signing of turnkey contracts.
Approximately 303.5 km Covering Five Urban Railway Lines
According to published information, the five proposed urban railway lines have a combined length of approximately 303.5 km, connecting urban areas, transport hubs, industrial zones, and emerging development centers across Hanoi.
- Line 1: Thuong Tin – Tam Hung – Thuong Phuc – Dan Hoa – Railway Industrial Park – Ngoc Hoi – Hanoi Railway Station – Yen Vien – Thu Lam Multi-Purpose Urban Area – Noi Bai International Airport.
- Line 2: Noi Bai International Airport – Tran Hung Dao – Thuong Dinh – Thuong Tin – Tam Hung – Thuong Phuc – Dan Hoa.
- Line 8: Hoa Lac – Son Dong – Mai Dich – Ring Road 3 – Linh Nam – Duong Xa.
- Line 10: Dong Anh – Vo Chi Cong – Ring Road 3 – Ring Road 2.5 – Times City – Dong Anh.
- Line 14: Thang Long Bridge – Hong Ha – Gia Lam.
Implementing these lines under a coordinated investment program requires close coordination among route planning, transport organization, urban development, and connections with other urban railway lines within the capital's public transport network.
Prioritizing Resources and Strengthening Investment Capital Controls
To meet the implementation schedule, the city has agreed in principle to prioritize sufficient funding for advance payments and project execution, including funding from the 2026 municipal budget, as proposed by the Party Committee of the Hanoi People's Committee.
Advance payments and disbursements must comply with applicable laws and regulations and be consistent with contractual terms, implementation schedules, and the city's budgetary capacity. The city also requires strict control over the use of funds to ensure that they are used for their intended purposes, together with mechanisms for advance payment guarantees and recovery of advances to prevent financial losses and waste.
Inspection, auditing, examination, and supervision will be strengthened throughout project implementation, focusing on capital management, advance payments, disbursements, and construction quality. The Hanoi People's Council and relevant inspection and supervisory bodies are responsible for monitoring the mobilization, allocation, use, and recovery of advance payments in accordance with regulations.
