The BCIC will also import 10,000 metric tonnes (MT) of phosphoric acid for its Chattagram TSP Complex Limited from Guizhou Chanhen Chemical Corporation, China (local agent Best Eastern, Dhaka) at a cost of Tk73 crore.

The CCGP approved a number of proposals of the Ministry of Housing and Public Works to raise the cost of civil works under its "Construction of Elevated Expressway from Lalkhan Bazar in Chittagong City to Shah-Amanat Airport" project.

Under the proposals, the cost of the civil construction works No-WD-1 will be increased byTk 649.02 crore, while cost of the civil works No-WD-1 of "Construction of road from Kalurghat Bridge to Chaktai Canal along the banks of Karnaphuli River" will get higher by Tk230.05 crore.

The committee also approved three proposals for the extension costs of the three segments of a project under the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC).
