The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the import of an additional 300,000 tons of diesel to address the country's fuel shortage caused by the Iran–United States–Israel conflict. The decision was made at a meeting held on Wednesday at the National Parliament Building, chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury. The committee approved three separate proposals to purchase 100,000 tons each from Ear Energy AG, K&R International Trading Company, and Messrs Sikder International.
The committee also granted policy approval for vaccine procurement under the EPI program and for bridge construction projects in Chandpur and Bhola. It decided that 50 percent of the vaccines would be purchased directly through UNICEF and the remaining 50 percent through open tender. However, due to delays and quality concerns in open tendering, the committee approved direct procurement of the remaining vaccines through UNICEF for the 2025–26 fiscal year, with an estimated cost of Tk 421.47 crore.
Additionally, the committee approved in principle two major bridge projects under the PPP model: an 8 km bridge over the Meghna River on the Shariatpur–Chandpur road and the Bhola Bridge over the Kalabandar and Tetulia rivers on the Barishal–Bhola road.
