What supports an investment assessment?

BIDA Heatmap: Immediate target

Promotion category from the January 2025 framework. It is not a market-demand measurement, approval, incentive entitlement or investment-return rating.

Read the official classification

Renewable electricity generation targets

20% / 30%

2030 / 2040 policy targets; not actual generation

SREDA’s 2025 policy summary sets generation-share targets. A target establishes policy direction; factory rooftop, utility supply and equipment services need different customer and grid arrangements.

No named foreign-owned operating company has been established for this specific activity in this review. The policy or project references support a research direction; they do not prove an existing foreign-investor base.

Mingdao analysis

Who would buy, and how would you serve them?

Industrial electricity users, project sponsors and utilities with a defined procurement route.

  1. Factory rooftop solar
  2. Renewable equipment and maintenance
  3. Project development under an identified customer contract

The opportunity becomes actionable when a customer need, a feasible delivery model and a tested cost base come together. Existing companies indicate activity, not automatic access to their orders.

Section reference

The metrics your business case needs.

Use these as project measurements to collect. They are not published national performance statistics.

Verified load profile

Record the evidence, baseline, target and responsible verifier.

Cost per delivered kWh

Record the evidence, baseline, target and responsible verifier.

Roof/grid availability

Record the evidence, baseline, target and responsible verifier.

Counterparty payment performance

Record the evidence, baseline, target and responsible verifier.

What could change the outcome?

  • Separate policy targets from installed or generated capacity.
  • Model curtailment, equipment degradation and financing.
  • Verify grid and customer-contract terms before promising returns.

Prepare an investment decision file.

Provide target customers, intended business model, current evidence and assumptions. Include verified load profile, cost per delivered kwh, roof/grid availability, counterparty payment performance in the assessment.

Which country links are evidenced here?

No country is assigned merely because it has a strong global industry. A Bangladesh company, trade, project or other relevant source is needed before adding that connection.

Section reference

Source documents and further reading.

Read the observation date and evidence status with each source. Company disclosures are attributed to the issuer. A reference to a policy is not a representation that a specific project qualifies for a benefit.

Make the next decision clearer

Scope your industry assessment.

Share your product, intended customer, business model and the assumptions you need to verify.

Foreign ownership in Bangladesh

Build a business you can fully own.

100% foreign ownership
Available in eligible sectors

100% foreign ownership is permitted in most sectors in Bangladesh. An eligible business can establish a wholly foreign-owned company without a local equity partner.

Eligibility depends on the business activity. Reserved or restricted activities, sector-specific ownership rules, licences and regulatory approvals must be checked before incorporation or investment.

Do I need a local shareholder?

For an activity eligible for wholly foreign-owned incorporation, a local equity partner is not generally required. The proposed activities and applicable sector rules must be reviewed first. Ownership eligibility does not replace company registration, operating licences or other required approvals.
