In order to transport up to 15 million tonnes of coal per year from the Phulbari Coal Mine at peak production capacity, a huge and heavy transport infrastructure network will be developed.
The transport of heavy mining equipment and foreign machinery imported for mine construction will generate massive sustained freight revenue and modernization opportunities for Mongla Port and Bangladesh Railway authorities.
- Upgrading existing railway lines to heavy-haul standards connecting Phulbari directly to Mongla and Khulna.
- Substantial multi-million dollar annual freight revenue for Bangladesh Railway.
- Enhancing deep-water port handling facilities, creating thousands of logistics and maritime jobs.
