In a significant stride for Bangladesh’s infrastructure development, Green Delta Capital Limited has successfully closed a $100 million limited recourse debt financing package. This crucial funding is earmarked for RSGT Bangladesh Ltd. to construct a state-of-the-art container terminal at the bustling Chittagong Port, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s efforts to enhance its trade capabilities. This ambitious project, valued at a total of $170 million, stands out as Bangladesh’s inaugural private sector-led port initiative structured under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) modality. Developed through a 22-year concession agreement, the terminal’s construction signifies the government’s steadfast dedication to leveraging private capital for strategic national infrastructure projects. It powerfully underscores Bangladesh’s increasing readiness and appeal as a destination for substantial international investment in critical sectors. The successful financial closure ceremony, held on Monday, June 23, 2025, cemented this landmark achievement. The substantial debt financing was secured from a distinguished consortium of financiers, reflecting strong confidence in Bangladesh’s economic future and the viability of its infrastructure ventures. Key contributors to this package include Bangladesh Infrastructure Finance Fund Limited (BIFFL), the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), and Pubali Bank PLC. Green Delta Capital played an instrumental role in this complex transaction, serving as the exclusive Lead Arranger and Adviser, skillfully navigating the financial landscape to bring this vital project to fruition. The construction of this new container terminal at Chittagong Port is poised to bring about transformative benefits for Bangladesh. As the nation’s primary seaport, Chittagong is crucial for facilitating international trade. The new terminal is expected to significantly boost the port’s handling capacity and operational efficiency, thereby accelerating economic growth and streamlining the flow of goods into and out of the country. This enhancement is vital for supporting Bangladesh’s expanding export and import activities, reducing logistical bottlenecks, and ultimately contributing to a more vibrant and competitive national economy. This landmark PPP project not only promises to elevate Bangladesh’s infrastructure profile but also reinforces its commitment to modernizing key economic gateways. It serves as a testament to the nation’s robust investment climate and its strategic vision for sustainable development, driven by effective collaboration between public and private sectors.
