Nigam explained that the gap between production costs of Bangladesh and India's production costs may be as high as 50%.

We are charged with consumption tax, licence fee, value-added tax, water tax, real estate tax and so on. Besides, the cost of labor is very high. However, Bangladesh enterprises do not have such tax burden, and the labor cost in Bangladesh is about 40% lower than that in India.

Nigam explains, for example, we need 65-70 rupees for a shirt, and only 30 rupees in Bangladesh.

He said that no major shopping mall in Bangladesh sells clothing made in Indore.

Bangladesh products will be leveraged to quality because they have modern chemical plants, which have the latest technology.

At present, there are about 2200 garment factories in Indore, and 1/5 of local industry workers work in the clothing industry.
