The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has issued an advisory warning its member factories not to sign new export contracts with an unnamed Indian company until outstanding export payments are settled.[3] The trade body said multiple member firms have reported unpaid dues from earlier shipments to this buyer and urged caution and verification before entering further commercial engagements.[3]
The dispute highlights payment risk in cross‑border sourcing and could temporarily disrupt some Bangladesh–India garment trade flows involving the concerned buyer.
