The 19 December 2025 ceremony itself is confirmed, but it was a technical opening rather than the completion of Phase 1: Wikipedia[2] records it as a ceremonial 'technical opening' with full commercial operations scheduled for December 2026, and the government's own report counted only three of 15 construction packages finished, with 12 still under way.
