The National Economic Council, presided over by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, yesterday approved the revised ADP.
Apart from the rail link project, allocations for the Matarbari 1,200MW coal-fired power plant and the Payra Deep-sea Port have been increased.
The allocation for the Mass Rapid Transit Line-6 (MRT-6), under which the country s first ever metro rail is being built, remained the same, according to documents.
Apart from the Padma bridge and the Rooppur power plant projects, the allocation for Chattogram-Cox s Bazar Rail Line was also reduced.
The eighth fast-track project, Rampal Power Plan, is not being funded by the ADP.
Most of the projects are running behind schedule largely due to uncertainty over funding, the Gulshan cafe attack in 2016, complexity over designs, planning, and land acquisition.
