The Ministry of Industries, in collaboration with GIZ Bangladesh, has launched a stakeholder consultation to formulate the Electric Vehicle (EV) Industry Development Policy 2026, aiming to establish a comprehensive roadmap for the country’s fast-growing electric mobility sector.
The consultation workshop, held at a hotel in Dhaka recently, focused on developing a supportive industrial and regulatory framework to help Bangladesh achieve its target of ensuring that 30 percent of all transport vehicles are electric by 2030.
The workshop was chaired by Industries Secretary Abdun Naser Khan, according to a press release issued by GIZ Bangladesh.
Addressing the event, Khan said Bangladesh must act now to secure its place in the global EV value chain.
‘If we fail to prepare adequately today, we risk missing not only a promising industrial opportunity but also falling behind in the global value chain,’ he said.
‘Our goal is not merely to import electric vehicles, but to establish Bangladesh as an EV manufacturing nation.’
