Bangladesh’s Minister of Industries, Khandaker Abdul Muktadir, informed the 13th National Parliament session on April 2, 2026, that 31 state-owned industrial enterprises are currently operating at a loss. The disclosure came during the question-and-answer session chaired by Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed. The minister detailed that five enterprises under Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation (BSEC), fourteen under Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation (BSFIC), and twelve under Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC) are incurring losses.
Responding to another parliamentary question, the minister added that there are 15 sugar mills in the country, of which six have suspended crushing operations. The information highlights ongoing challenges in the management and profitability of state-owned industries across multiple sectors.
The parliamentary discussion underscores the government’s awareness of financial inefficiencies within key industrial corporations, though no immediate remedial measures or policy responses were mentioned in the session.
