  • Where is Dhaka’s first private bitumen plant located?
  • Also last year, the leading conglomerate launched the country’s first private bitumen plant, located at Pangoan of Keraniganj in Dhaka. Bitumen, or sometimes known as asphalt, is a substance produced through the distillation of crude oil and is an essential component in road construction.
  • Why does Bangladesh import a lot of bitumen?
  • Currently, Bangladesh consumes around half a million tons per year, forcing the country to import heavily when it comes to bitumen as petroleum oil refineries have low production capacities. The bitumen plant is situated over 63 acres of land and has a total production capacity of nine lakh tons, which is enough capacity to meet the local demand.
  • Is Bashundhara constructing a mega oil refinery in Chattogram?
  • The mega plant is expected to meet about 80% of the national demand for refined oil Bashundhara Oil and Gas Company Limited, a subsidiary of one of the biggest conglomerates of the country announced that they are constructing a mega oil refinery in Sitakunda upazila in Chattogram back in mid-2018.
  • Will Bashundhara’s new mega plant contribute to the production of bitumen?
  • To expand its production capacity and to keep up with the increasing demand in the near future, Bashundhara’s upcoming new mega plant is also going to contribute to the production of bitumen as the demand for it is increasing 10% to 15% yearly.
