The biggest gainers were: Tamijuddin Textile, Envoy Textile, Simtex, Shasha Denim, Square Textile, Monno Fabrics and Maksons Spinning. Anlima Yarn, Evince Textile and Stylecraft incurred losses, while they had recorded profits previous year. Profits of Aman Cotton, Alhaj Textile, Delta Spinners, ML Dyeing and Rahim Textile decreased in Q3 of fiscal 2021-22. The Export Promotion Bureau says, Bangladesh’s RMG exports increased 45 per cent to $11.52 billion in the third quarter through March, compared to $7.94 billion in the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. To keep pace with the growth in apparel exports, yarn makers revealed plans to invest about $2.5 billion in expanding production capacity by next year.
