Preparatory Facility) (RCIP) with seven components for railway infrastructure development (umbrella project). At present BR has another important project preparatory facility (Dhaka-Chittagong-Cox's Bazar Project Preparatory Facility) with assistance from ADB for seven important investment components for future Railway infrastructure development. Now more five components are going to be added with it. Very Soon another project preparatory facility with eleven components is coming up under ADB financing. Bangladesh Government has signed TAR agreement in 2007 and BR will be a part of the TAR network after completing projects related to SASEC rail corridor-2. It is expected that construction work of proposed SASEC rail connectivity within Bangladesh will be completed by the year 2025. Bangladesh Railway is constructing some main railway lines such as: Akhaura- Laksam dual gauge double line (ADB funding), Dohazari-Cox's bazar rail link (ADB funding), Bhanga- Payra (under design), Padma bridge rail link (Dhaka- Jessore, China G2G funding), Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujib railway bridge over the river Jamuna (JICA funding), Bogra- Sirajganj chord line,, high speed rail line from Dhaka to Chattagram to Cox's Bazar) (under process), Khulna-Darsana line doubling, Akhaura-Agartala, Chilahati-Chilahati border, Khulna-Mongla rail link, etc. On the other hand, many branch lines are also being constructed. Overall Bangladesh Railway network is rapidly expanding. We have adopted a Master Plan of 30 years (2016-2045) for railway network expansion, associated infrastructure development, rolling stock procurement and workshop development, with an estimated total cost US$ 66 billion for 230 projects. It is a challenge for Government of Bangladesh to implement this masterplan. The economical development of the country is getting faster, at present GDP is above 7.50 % and end of financial year 2018-2019 it will exceed 8 hopefully. The economical growth of the country will be further accelerated through railway infrastructure development. At present small scale business is going on with India using the existing railway connectivity. The SASEC rail corridor as well as Trans Asian railway network will play as vital life line for the export -import business of Bangladesh with India, China and other neighboring countries.
