The company set up a plant in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Industrial Park in Gazaria Upazila of Munshiganj District by March 2023,[10] but was unable to start production for a year because of the lack of a natural gas connection. Titas Gas blamed insufficient gas supply for the delay.[11][12]
