Chattogram: Bangladesh-based electrical products manufacturer MEP Group has taken an initiative to invest around Tk 200 crore to set up a modern factory at the National Special Economic Zone in Mirsarai, Chattogram. The company said it will establish the factory on 10 acres of land and produce a range of electrical products, including lighting equipment, switches and sockets, circuit breakers, fans, and cables.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the investment is expected to increase production capacity, product diversity, and quality in the country's electrical products sector while creating employment opportunities and strengthening the competitiveness of local industries.

Speaking as the chief guest, Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Administrator Md. Fazlul Hoque said the new investment and modern factory of MEP Group at the National Special Economic Zone would help produce higher-quality and more diversified electrical products.
He said the initiative would contribute positively to industrialisation, employment generation, and the expansion of domestic production capacity. MEP Group Managing Director Dr Jahangir Alam Chakladar stated that the new factory would serve not only as a project to expand production capacity but also as a centrepiece of the company's long-term plans for improving product quality, technology, innovation, and market expansion.
He added that the company aims to make MEP a larger contributor to the country's electrical products market by working with retailers, distributors, and consumers.
