Hanoi Metro’s surge in post-tax profit was mainly driven by financial income, with VND 23.6 billion earned from interest on deposits and loans. The company now holds over VND 83 billion in bank deposits, nearly double the amount at the beginning of the reporting period.

Hanoi Metro has set a goal of VND 878.4 billion in revenue in 2025, up 40 per cent from last year, with both pre-and post-tax profits forecasted at VND 27 billion.
The first-half results have exceeded 50 per cent of the revenue target and are approaching half of the post-tax profit goal.
This year, the firm aims to serve 19.3 million passengers across 159,732 train journeys. Passenger transport is expected to contribute VND 111.5 billion, equivalent to one-eighth of total revenue.
The Cat Linh-Ha Dong metro line is 13 kilometres long, including 12 stations. Each train has four carriages with a capacity of 960 passengers, operating at a maximum speed of 80 km/h and an average commercial speed of 35 km/h. A full end-to-end journey takes 23 minutes.
The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line runs 12.5 kilometres, comprising 8.5 kilometres of elevated track from Nhon to Cau Giay and a 4-kilometre underground section from Cau Giay to Hanoi Station.
