But on the contrary, giving a new twist to the revival claims, the apex garment makers’ body, the BGMEA, has recently come up with a report, saying that in July, only 56% of the total production capacity had been reserved, while 35% of the production capacity has been retained for the consolidated period of July-December this year.
