MANUFACTURING IN LOCAL COS’ PLANTS Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has barred foreign mobile handset brands from manufacturing their products in the factories of local handset manufacturing companies. To this end, the telecom regulator amended its guidelines on setting up local handset manufacturing and assembling plants at a recent meeting of the commission, a senior BTRC official told New Age. Previously, the guidelines that came into effect in August 2017 allowed foreign handset brands to manufacture their handsets in any local handset manufacturing or assembling factories. The telecom regulator imposed the embargo on the foreign brands which are eligible to import handsets in Bangladesh with a view to prompting them to set up their own manufacturing plants in the country if the brands desire to get tax benefits offered by the government for the sector. Such policy barrier might prompt the foreign mobile handset brands to set up their own plants in Bangladesh to remain competitive in the local market, BTRC officials said. Besides, it would also help the country attract foreign investments in the country’s mobile handset manufacturing sector. So far, none of the foreign handset brands manufacture their products in the factories of local handset manufactories companies.
