Dhaka, May 10 -- The government is considering reopening the closed Panchagarh Sugar Mills Limited after necessary Balancing, Modernisation Rehabilitation and Expansion (BMRE) as part of a broader initiative to revive loss-making state-owned industries and stimulate local economies.

Officials say the move could help generate employment, support farmers and reactivate economic activities in surrounding areas, while new investment in beet sugar production is also being explored.

Commerce, Industries and Textiles and Jute Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir on Saturday said the government is working to reopen the closed Panchagarh Sugar Mill as part of a broader plan to revive state-owned industries across the country.
