Additionally, efforts to curb gas wastage and the adoption of modern technology have contributed to reducing operational costs.
The company's return to profitability is considered a positive development for Bangladesh's energy sector. However, stakeholders note that sustaining this momentum will require long-term planning and continued policy support.
