Around four-fifths of raw materials needed for various industries, including the readymade garments (RMG) sector, is imported through the Benapole land port.
The government now collects around Tk 6,000 crore as revenue from the Benapole Customs House per year, which will increase to Tk 10,000 crore due to the opening of the Padma Bridge, Bangladeshi media reported.
Benapole Export-Import Association president Mohsin Milon said businesses will be more motivated for expansion as the bridge will increase the ease of doing business and reduce the travel time between Dhaka to the southwestern part of the country.
