The Western Region Megapolis Light Rail Transit System (Sinhala: කොළඹ සැහැල්ලු දුම්රිය සංක්රමණ පද්ධතිය. Tamil: கொழும்பு இலகு ரக இருப்புப்பாதை கட்டமைப்பு) (previously referred to as the Colombo Light Rail ) is a proposed metropolitan light rail system which was under construction serving the designated Western Region Megapolis area within the Colombo District, Sri Lanka. The system was planned to be operated as a public-private partnership between the Government of Sri Lanka and selected private entities. The project estimated to be worth USD 1.5 billion was commenced during the Presidency of Maithripala Sirisena in 2017 and was regarded as the largest single foreign-funded infrastructure project in Sri Lanka. The funding came from the Japan International Cooperation Agency which provided an extremely low-interest loan with an interest rate of only 0.1% which is repayable over 40 years with a 12-year grace period. However in September 2020 due to the change in administration in Sri Lanka, the newly elected president Gotabaya Rajapaksa ordered the cancellation of the project claiming that it was not a cost-effective solution. The government later claimed that the project was not canceled and would continue with changes But in 2022 the Auditor Generals department confirmed that the project was scrapped unilaterally by Gotabaya and began an investigation into the cancellation. In June 2021, it was reported that a Japanese firm which was involved with the project claimed damages and compensation amounting to Rs. 5.8 billion as a result of scrapping the project. The unilateral cancellation of the project by the Sri Lankan government severely impacted relations with Japan which had been a major source of financial and technological assistance to Sri Lanka making Japan unwilling to provide further aid to the Rajapaksa administration.
