India has extended nearly $9.5 billion to Bangladesh in concessional loans and is taking up several connectivity projects. The Kulna-Darshanah rail line project will boost Bangladesh's economy by improving rail connectivity on the Kulna-Dhaka, Kulna-Chilahati and Kulna-Rachahi routes. It will also connect Mongla Port with Doshonagebe, which would have a transformational impact on the movement of commodities such as fuel to the proposed fuel-based power plants in Horyan, Santahar, Pheramara, Rangpur, Amanura, Foritpur, Thakurgaon and Bangalmondu Bridge, West Station. The total cost of the project under Government of India loan is nearly $312 million.
