Indian Firm Secures Two Metro Line-1 Packages Worth Over ₹5,000 Crore
Bangladesh underground metro
Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has bagged two key contracts under the Dhaka Metro Line-1 project in Bangladesh.
The contract includes track, electrical, signaling, telecommunication systems and platform screen doors.
Under the contract the company will execute the CP09 package with Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation.
The Metro Line-1 project is being developed in Bangladesh to increase urban transport.
It will link Kamalapur to Dhaka airport and Purbachal. The project is around 31 km long and will have 19 stations.
L&T has executed projects for the Dhaka Metro Line-6 project previously.
This contract could aid them in executing this project. It also shows how involved they are in transport infrastructure internationally.
Once the metro is up and running, it could help improve connectivity throughout Dhaka.
It may also reduce traffic and allow people to travel quicker.
