Widespread load-shedding and fuel shortages have severely disrupted garment production in Savar and Ashulia, two major industrial areas near Dhaka. Factory officials reported that production has dropped by 15–20 percent, with some plants operating generators to maintain limited output. Abul Kashem, Deputy Managing Director of AKH Group, said daily production has fallen by about 10 percent due to fuel scarcity and rising costs, while transport delays are causing missed shipment deadlines and reduced foreign orders.
At Al Muslim Group and JK Group factories, managers said fuel shortages and higher prices have forced them to cut production from over 100,000 pieces a day to 80,000–90,000. Transport disruptions have led some owners to ship goods by air at their own expense, increasing costs. Jahangir Hossain of Stitches Limited warned that if the situation continues, operating garment factories will become unsustainable.
Dhaka Palli Bidyut Samiti-1’s Senior General Manager Akhtar Uzzaman Laskar said electricity supply shortages stem from lower-than-demand generation, but the government has taken measures to boost output soon.
