Many Dubai-based garment importers place orders with Indian manufacturers

Many Dubai-based garment importers place orders with Indian manufacturers which buy products from Bangladesh as the cost of production is lower here than in India.

Classic Fashions Ltd sends nearly $3 million worth of garment items to a Dubai-based company through Indian exporters.

Md Shahidullah Azim, managing director of the company, says a lot of Indian businessmen are placing a good number of orders in Bangladesh to re-export to other countries.

"This is one of the major reasons for the increasing garment export to India."
