About Karwan Bazar
Karwan Bazar serves the heart of Dhaka's largest wholesale market — the famous Karwan Bazar kitchen and produce wholesale, which supplies a large portion of the city's fresh produce, fish and meat.
The area is also Bangladesh's major media district — the head offices of Prothom Alo, The Daily Star, several TV stations, Petrobangla and the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) are within a short walk. The towering World Trade Center Dhaka is just east of the station.
Looking ahead, Karwan Bazar is planned as the interchange with MRT Line 5 (Southern Route) — making it one of the most important multi-line stations of the future network. The station opened with the southern extension on 4 November 2023.
