Factory Relocation

British American Tobacco Bangladesh Company Limited (BAT Bangladesh) is relocating its head office and factory from Mohakhali to Ashulia starting from July 1, 2025. [3] The new address will be: Dehora, Dhamsona, Bolivodra Bazar, Ashulia, Dhaka-1349. As the Mohakhali factory was situated in a residential area, environmental activists had long been demanding its relocation. [4] Following a legal dispute over lease renewal, the company made this decision after the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court rejected BAT Bangladesh’s appeal. [5] [6]
