The Syrian Investment Commission has listed the first phase of the Damascus Metro project on its official investment map. The project is owned by Damascus Governorate and carries an estimated capital requirement of USD 2 billion. The opportunity is structured under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, granting the investor usufruct rights over the project for the duration of the contract, while Damascus Governorate receives an agreed share of net profits.
The Green Line extends 16.5 kilometres and includes 17 interchange stations, following this route:
The line connects key districts of the capital, from the western suburbs through the commercial and historic core of Damascus.
According to the investment map data, the line is projected to serve 840,000 passengers per day at the start of operations. End-to-end journey time is stated at no more than 30 minutes, with train speeds reaching 80 km/h. Headways are set at 2.5 minutes during peak hours and 5 minutes during off-peak periods.
The BOT structure requires the investor to finance and construct the first phase, then operate it over a defined concession period to recover capital and generate returns through fare revenues. Damascus Governorate retains an agreed percentage of net profits throughout the concession.
The opportunity is administered by the Syrian Investment Commission in coordination with Damascus Governorate. Full project details and application procedures are available through the Commission's official investment map portal.
