Political upheaval in bangladesh, indian companies have deep relations…

In recent years, the indian corporate sector has invested heavily in bangladesh due to the strong economy of bangladesh, large population, natural gas reserves present there and cheap labor. bangladesh is also considered a gateway for india to Southeast Asia. India's economic and political relations with bangladesh have been better than other neighboring countries, due to which the corporate world of india has been attracted for investment. But after bangladesh Prime minister Sheikh Hasina left the country and the bangladesh Army took over the power, questions are also being raised about the security of the investment of the indian corporate world. In recent times, large scale violence has been seen there.

The indian corporate sector has invested the most in sectors like textiles, power, pharmaceuticals in bangladesh, which has given impetus to the economy there and has also increased employment opportunities for the local people. Apart from Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's power company reliance Power, adani Group and public sector power company NTPC have also invested in Bangladesh. Apart from this, Tata Motors, hero MotoCorp, sun Pharma, Godrej and Ceat Tyres have manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh.

bangladesh dominates the garment industry

In the last few years, many textile companies of india have turned towards Bangladesh. Since 2006, indian textile and apparel companies started turning to Bangladesh. bangladesh has been getting a big advantage of having a lower minimum wage than India. bangladesh is far ahead of india in terms of garment export. Between 2013 and 2023, Bangladesh's garments have grown at a rate of 69.6 percent while Vietnam's has grown at a rate of 81.6 percent. Whereas India's garment export has grown at a rate of only 4.6 percent. Due to this, India's share in the global garment trade has been continuously decreasing. The export of readymade garments from india was $ 16 billion in 2022-23, while during the same period, bangladesh exported 3 times more than india at $ 47 billion. But political instability and upheaval in bangladesh can bring a big opportunity for indian garment companies.
