PM Modi, PM Jugnauth to inaugurate new Supreme Court Building of Mauritius on July 30

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Mauritius counterpart will jointly inaugurate the new Supreme Court Building of Mauritius on Thursday.

The inauguration is scheduled to take place through video-conference in presence of senior members of Judiciary from Mauritius and other dignitaries from both countries. The building has been constructed with Indian grant assistance and will be the first India assisted infrastructure project within the capital city of Port Louis.

 

The new Supreme Court building project is one of the five projects being implemented under  the ‘Special Economic Package’ of 353 million dollars extended by India to Mauritius in 2016. The project has been completed within



schedule and below expected costs. The building is spread over an area of more than 4700 sqm with over 10 floors and a built up area of around 25,000 sqm. 

The building flaunts a modern design and green features with focus on thermal and sound insulation and high energy efficiency. The new building will bring all divisions and offices of the Supreme Court of Mauritius into a single building improving its efficiency.

 

In October last year, Prime Minister Modi and the Mauritius Prime Minister had jointly inaugurated the Phase -I of the Metro Express Project and the new ENT Hospital project in Mauritius, also built under the special economic package.
