The Bangladesh government has extended the deadline for the Mongla Commander Flotilla West (COMFLOT West) project to December 2028, while the cost has risen significantly from Tk 699.94 crore to Tk 1,316.62 crore. The project, aimed at enhancing maritime security in the Mongla region and implemented by the Bangladesh Navy, has faced delays and technical adjustments, with cumulative expenditures reaching Tk 382.28 crore as of June 2025. The initiative, fully funded by government resources, is under increased scrutiny regarding development spending.
