Al Amin Re-Rolling Mill in the capital’s Shyampur makes iron flat bars by melting old iron.

It can produce 28 tonnes of iron flat bars in a day, but production has come down to 20 tonnes per day due to rising raw material prices and the gas crisis.

The mill owner used to buy iron for Tk 58 per kg two months ago, but prices have now increased by Tk 10-15 per kg.

80 workers work at the mill, with their monthly salaries ranging between Tk 12,000 and Tk 18,000.
