DEMU is the country's first-ever commuter train service starting its journey on the Chittagong–Faujdarhat line. These DEMUs also operate on the [[Chittagong Circular Railway]] and on the [[Bangladesh Railway]]'s service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Narayanganj]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2013/05/25/demu-trains-begin-debut-run-in-ctg | title=DEMU trains begin debut run in Ctg | publisher=[[Bdnews24.com]] | access-date=2013-05-26}}</ref> However, these trains faced reliability issues soon after the final delivery in 2015, with all 20 trains becoming inoperable past 2018.<ref name="SomoyNews">{{Cite web |author=Somoy National Desk |title=Railway to sell Tk 650cr worth of DEMU trains as scrap |url=https://en.somoynews.tv/news/2025-01-20/WZ7HMI1v |access-date=2025-01-28 |website=Somoy News}}</ref> In 2020, technicians from Bangladesh Railway were able to repair one of the inoperative trains to working condition.
