Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL), a subsidiary of reliance infrastructure , has successfully restructured its debt with National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (NARCL), reducing its financial obligations by more than ₹1,100 crore as on March 31, 2026. The agreement, finalized on July 9, 2026, also secures the withdrawal of insolvency proceedings that had been initiated against the metro operator. This restructuring covers total financial obligations amounting to ₹2,771.32 crore, significantly strengthening the subsidiary's balance sheet and ensuring the continued operation of the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro Line-1.

MMOPL is a joint venture between Reliance Infrastructure, which holds a 74% equity stake, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which holds the remaining 26%. The entity operates the critical East-West connectivity corridor in Mumbai, serving over 5 lakh commuters daily. The resolution of the debt dispute removes a major overhang on the company's financial stability.

The agreement also mandates the formation of a Monitoring Committee comprising representatives from both the lender and MMOPL. This committee will oversee the implementation of the restructuring plan. Additionally, the agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, restricting certain corporate actions without the prior written consent of the lender.
