Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Mauritian counterpart Pravind Kumar Jugnauth virtually inaugurated India-assisted Infrastructure projects in the island country. Both the leaders jointly launched the Social Housing Unit, Civil Service College, and 8MW Solar PV Farm projects in Mauritius. The meeting included extending the agreement on the $190 million Line of Credit from India to Mauritius for the Metro Express Project and other infrastructure projects. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on implementation of Small Development Projects was exchanged during the virtual conference scheduled for January 20, the MEA informed. The relationship between India-Mauritius has taken new strides since March 2017 after an agreement was signed between RITES, an Indian Public Sector Undertaking, and the Government of Mauritius appointing RTES as a consultant for the Metro Express Project. India has extended severe LoCs for Mauritius to assist development programs, human resources, and skill upgrades. Some notable India-assisted projects in Mauritius include Mahatma Gandhi Institute, Upadhayay Training Centre, and Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital.
