Infrastructure in Sylhet has seen significant upgrades to keep pace with economic growth.
- **Electricity:** Power is distributed by the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and Rural Electrification Board (REB). The presence of local gas fields ensures a relatively stable power supply compared to other regions. - **Gas and Water:** Jalalabad Gas Transmission and Distribution System supplies piped natural gas. Piped water and sanitation are managed by city corporations and municipalities, though rural areas largely rely on tube wells. - **Telecommunications:** Sylhet boasts strong cellular networks (Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, Teletalk) and widespread broadband internet, heavily utilized by the population to communicate with relatives abroad. - **Flood Management:** Embankments and submersible roads have been constructed to manage the complex hydrology of the region, though infrastructure remains vulnerable to extreme monsoon floods.
