According to the calculation of the Japanese research team, the total cost to implement the project Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien metro extension, Ho Chi Minh City to Binh Duong and Dong Nai is about VND 21,234 billion including VND 2,315 billion for the first phase and VND 18,919 billion for the second phase.

The Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien metro project initially had a total investment capital of VND17,000 billion. But in 2011, Ho Chi Minh City has adjusted the investment capital to more than VND 47,000 billion. In particular, the ODA loan of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is over VND 41,800 billion (accounting for 88.4% of total investment), the remaining more than VND 5,400 billion is reciprocal capital from the city budget .

Thus, total investment for the entire metro line 1 is expected to be approximately VND 70,000 billion.

Starting in 2012, Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien metro project has a total length of 19.7 km, including 2.6 km underground and 17.1 km high. This project passes through districts 1, 2, 9, Binh Thanh, Thu Duc of Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City and Di An District of Binh Duong.
