The government has sent an official letter to the World Bank seeking financing for the nearly 30-kilometre-long MRT Line-2 project from Gabtali to Narayanganj via New Market. Out of the 30.4 km total length, 7.5 km will be underground and the rest will be elevated.
According to DMTCL, the estimated construction cost of this metro line is Tk 60,837 crore. Through the letter sent earlier this month, the government also sought technical assistance for overall metro rail management alongside project financing.
The finance and planning minister approved the project proposal on September 20, following which the Economic Relations Division sent the request letter to the World Bank. Discussions regarding project financing will begin after stakeholder talks conclude in November.
