This project is part of an infrastructure initiative to address the growing urban demands of New Taipei City.

Gamuda’s joint venture partners in this project are Taiwan-based companies MiTAC Information Technology, holding a 15% stake, and Dong Pi with 10%.

Gamuda’s involvement in the Taiwanese market spans two decades, with this project being its largest win in the country to date.

In a statement, the group said: “The latest project is Gamuda’s biggest win since we entered the Taiwanese market two decades ago. This win showcases the group’s consistent ability to secure high-value projects in competitive international markets.”

Gamuda completed the Kaohsiung MRT Orange Line in 2008.

It has since been involved in other significant projects in Taiwan, including the RM2.13 billion Taoyuan City Underground Railway project in 2022, and the Kaohsiung MRT Metropolitan Yellow Line in 2023.
