ECRL project

Transport Minister Anthony Loke says the encouraging progress achieved was in line with the Dec 2026 completion schedule for the ECRL track.

The ECRL project has achieved an overall progress of 62.4 per cent as of February this year, supported by 23,000 workers.

The ECRL is scheduled to be operational in January 2027.

Victor Gao said apart from an earlier completion, it was also possible for the ECRL train speed to be increased.

CHEC's general manager Zhang Wenfeng said the seven pct incomplete part involved Section C of the rail alignment, which is in Selangor.

The Selangor government hopes that the proposal to establish another rail line for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) in the southern part of the state will be considered by the federal government.

The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project is expected to solve traffic congestion faced by road users especially those heading to the east coast during the festive season.

The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), a mega-rail project, which is expected to be completed in December 2026, is currently 7.19 pct complete.

The construction cost of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project remained unchanged at RM50.27 billion, even after the Selangor government approved the proposed ECRL North Line Section C.

The Selangor Exco has agreed to accept the proposed Northern Alignment of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project and approve the ECRL Section C Alignment.
