Exporters are finding it tough to dispatch products overseas on time. They might also have to resort to expensive air shipments to meet the deadline. They might even have to offer discounts if they miss the deadline.

Factories at Konabari, Shafipur, Rajendrapur, Kashimpur, Mouchak, Mirzapur, Gazipur, Ashulia, Savar and Kaliakoir areas are the worst hit. More than 1,200 textile and garment factories have either suspended production or are running with electricity. They recently met the prime minister to express their concern and expressed concern to the energy minister as factory owners have been suffering for the last one week. They want an immediate solution as owners will face difficulties in timely shipment of goods as production halts. The situation at the spinning mills is the worst as the spinning, dyeing and washing plants require continuous supply of gas with adequate pressure.
