The company opts for the stock market for sourcing the funds instead of bank loans as the market price of the company's shares are high, a top Bangladeshi daily quoted Alif Group managing director Azimul Islam as saying.
The company plans to produce yarn to reduce dependence on import and will hold an extraordinary general meeting on March 11 to seek approval in favour of its decision and then send the proposal to the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission for permission.
The group, engaged in garments business for over three decades, bought CMC Kamal Textil Mills from planning minister AHM Mustafa Kamal and changed its name to Alif Manufacturing Company in December last year. It now has eight garments factories. Its companies produce woven tops and bottoms and employ around 8,000. (DS)
