孟加拉：液化天然气将减少纺织厂的竞争力

LNG gas to reduce competitiveness of textile mills: BTMA

Textile mills in Bangladesh fear losing their competitiveness following the government’s move to use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the manufacturing sector. This was observed by Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) president Tapan Chowdhury, while addressing a press conference in connection with the upcoming DTG-2017 trade show.

The Bangladesh government is planning to set up a LNG terminal, which will supply imported gas to the industry. Chowdhury feared that this move to use LNG will increase the production costs of textile mills.

He observed that the industry is yet to get a clarification on the pricing, but which, according to sources was TK 14 per unit, which could hit hard the spinning industry.

DTG 2017 kicks off from February 23 in Dhaka with a total of 1,000 machinery manufacturers from 33 countries, taking part in the trade show.

孟加拉：液化天然气将减少纺织厂的竞争力

在政府决定开始在制造业使用液化天然气(LNG)后，孟加拉国的纺织厂恐怕将失去竞争力。孟加拉纺织厂协会(BTMA)会长Tapan Chowdhury在即将展开的2017孟加拉国际纺织机械展的新闻发布会上观察说。

孟加拉国政府计划建立一个液化天然气终端，将为该行业提供进口天然气。Chowdhury担心使用液化天然气的此举将使得纺织厂的生产成本增加。

他观察到，该行业尚未得到明确的定价，但是据消息来源称是每单位14塔卡，这可能将重创纺织行业。

2017孟加拉国际纺织机械展将于2月23日在达卡举行，有33个国家的1000家生产商将参加展会。
