About Motijheel
Motijheel is the southern terminus of MRT Line 6 and the gateway to the central business district of Dhaka. The station was inaugurated on 4 November 2023 with the Agargaon–Motijheel section and opened to passengers the next day; the last intermediate stations of that section opened on 31 December 2023.
Motijheel sits at the geographic and economic heart of Dhaka. Within walking distance you have Bangladesh Bank (the central bank), most of the country’s major commercial bank headquarters, the Dilkusha Commercial Area and the historic Motijheel lake. The station is elevated, with concourse access on both sides of Dilkusha Road.
When the under-construction extension to Kamalapur opens, Motijheel will become a regular through-station and Kamalapur will be the future multi-line interchange hub (MRT 1 / 2 / 4 + Kamalapur Railway Station + bus terminal).
