Bangladesh Railway plans to consider extending electric train services to Chattogram after implementing a pilot corridor linking Narayanganj, Dhaka and Joydebpur, BSS reported on November 13.
Railway chief planning officer Md Rafiqul Islam said the initial pilot has received ECNEC approval and the planned trains could have a maximum speed of 140 km/h. Extending electrification to the Dhaka–Chattogram corridor is a subsequent ambition, not an operational service or completed construction project.
