Textile industry worried over Bangladesh investment: Official

New Delhi, August 2024.

Several Indian textile companies are worried over their investment in Bangladesh due to the ongoing political turmoil but the garment mills in the neighbouring country have resumed operation, an official in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said.

“The disruption happened in the first few days but the trucks have resumed moving on the Bangladesh border and the mills are also reopening,” the official said

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), fearing vandalism, reportedly asked all factory owners to keep their units shut until further notice.
