Bangladesh is set to launch three major infrastructure projects, including a power plant, under India’s financial assistance, a senior Bangladeshi official said on Tuesday.

This comes after Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Pranay Verma called on Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her residence and discussed issues such as the Taka-Rupee exchange system between Bangladesh and India, connectivity, and ongoing projects under the Indian Line of Credits and grants.

A spokesman at Bangladesh premier’s office said the country is set to launch three major infrastructure projects, including a power plant, under India’s financial assistance in September.

The power plant would be the second unit of the Rampal power plant in southwestern Bangladesh while the two other infrastructure projects are 65-kilometre-long Khulna-Mongla Port Railway Link, Akhaura (Bangladesh), and Agartala (India) Railway Link.

Maitree Super Thermal Power Plant-2 has been built as a 50:50 joint venture project, while the first unit of the project, also having a 660 MW capacity, was commissioned in December last year, the official was quoted as saying by PTI.

The official further said the power plant and the Khulna-Mongla Port railway track were constructed under an Indian Line of Credit while the Akhaura (Bangladesh) and Agartala (India) Railway Link was built under an Indian grant.
