| Project Detail |
The proposed project will improve railway transport capacity in Bangladesh on key corridors such as the Dhaka -Chittagong and Dhaka- Khulna main line corridors by financing additional rolling stock (locomotives, passenger carriages, and related equipment). The new rolling stock will enable Bangladesh Railway to satisfy steadily growing demand and increase its market share.
The impact will be efficient and safe railway transport in Bangladesh, aligned with the Sixth Five-Year Plan (2011 2015). The outcome will be increased railway transport capacity in the main line network of Bangladesh Railway.
The project has two outputs. Output 1 comprises the procurement and commissioning of new rolling stock consisting of approximately 264 passenger carriages and 10 diesel electric locomotives for Bangladesh Railways meter gauge main line network. Output 2 comprises the procurement and commissioning of new equipment consisting of approximately four relief cranes, two train washing plants, and one simulator for loco-master training. |
