The Government has established a State Appraisal Council to review the pre-feasibility study report for Metro Line No.1 linking new Binh Duong city (in the southern province of Binh Duong) with Suoi Tien Theme Park in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Council is chaired by the Minister of Finance and sees the participation of a Deputy Minister of Finance serving as Vice Chairman. 

The Council is responsible for finalizing the appraisal report in accordance with regulations, clearly affirming the project’s pre-feasibility study report to meet the necessary conditions for government approval, and submitting it to the National Assembly for approval of an investment policy.

The proposed line will span a total length of 32.43 km, comprising a 29.01 km main line and a 3.42 km depot connector.

The project starts at Station S1 in the new city center in Hoa Phu ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province, and ends at the Suoi Tien Bus Station of Ho Chi Minh City’s Urban Railway Line No. 1 in Binh Thang ward, Di An city, Binh Duong province.

The total investment capital for the project is estimated at VND64.37 trillion (approximately $2.6 billion). If implemented as scheduled, construction is expected to commence in 2027 and conclude by 2031, marking Binh Duong's first metro line.
