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]
