Electric train plan moves ahead for Dhaka and Chattogram
12 Sept 2026
The Prime Minister said a study and design for an electric train between Chattogram and Dhaka are done. The electric traction design is complete. The project now needs money to move forward.
No start date has been given. No ticket price has been announced. The route is not yet running.
For small online shops, this could mean faster trips between the two cities later. Right now, nothing changes for your daily deliveries.
Keep watching for news about funding. That is the next big step.
Who this affects
- Shop owners who send products between Dhaka and Chattogram
- Shop owners who buy stock from sellers in either city
What to do about it
- Keep using your current courier for now.
- Ask your courier about their plans for faster service.
- Follow news about the train project funding.
- Do not promise faster delivery to customers yet.
