The Maldives government signed an agreement with India's AFCONs on August 26, 2021, to build the Thilamale Bridge linking Male', Villimale', Thilafushi, and Gulhifalhu. The bridge project is being funded by a $100 million grant and a $400 million loan from the Indian government. The Indian Embassy in the Maldives said the $400 million is part of an $800 million credit line established between the two countries. Furthermore, India has also provided an additional $15 million (approximately MVR 231.3 million) in free aid for the construction of the Thilamale Bridge.
Once completed, the Thilamale Bridge will be 6.695 km long and will include a bridge and causeways.
