Industrial gas supply is expected to normalise by Tuesday, according to statements from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, marking a significant step toward restoring energy availability to levels experienced one-and-a-half months earlier.
The announcement signals progress in addressing gas supply constraints that have affected Bangladesh's industrial sector. The normalisation timeline suggests coordinated efforts across energy infrastructure to boost output and distribution capacity.
The return to previous supply levels is crucial for manufacturing units across the country, many of which have faced production challenges due to energy shortages. Industrial gas remains vital for power generation, fertiliser production, and various manufacturing processes.
Authorities have been working to increase gas supply through enhanced production from existing fields and optimisation of distribution networks. The timeline provided by the Prime Minister indicates these efforts are yielding results as the country seeks to maintain industrial momentum and economic growth.
The restoration of gas supply to earlier levels is expected to provide relief to factory owners and workers dependent on steady energy availability for operations.
