AeroSynth to invest $3.5m in Mirsarai drone plant

An agreement to this effect was signed between Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) and AeroSynth Limited at the BEPZA Complex in Dhaka on Wednesday. 

Md. Ashraful Kabir, Member (Investment Promotion) of BEPZA and Hu Dandan, Authorised Representative of AeroSynth Limited, signed a lease agreement, said a press release.

This marks the second drone manufacturing project in the economic zone. 

The company will produce toy drones, fishing drones and drones designed for light product delivery. 

The facility aims to produce 150,000 units annually and create employment opportunities for around 70 Bangladeshi workers.

The first drone manufacturing project in the zone, currently under implementation, is focused on producing drones for agricultural pesticide spraying, firefighting, emergency rescue operations, product delivery, cinematography and mapping. 

The addition of AeroSynth’s project further reflects BEPZA’s move toward expanding into advanced and future-oriented manufacturing sectors, the release said.

BEPZA Executive Chairman Major General Mohammad Moazzem Hossain was present at the ceremony. 

Thanking the company for choosing BEPZA for the venture, he reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to providing continuous support to ensure smooth industrial operations.

As of September 2025, six companies at BEPZA EZ have started production and export activities. 

These industries have so far created jobs for nearly 4,000 workers and exported products worth approximately US$ 19.92 million. 

Several more companies are preparing to begin production soon, further diversifying the industrial base of the zone, reports UNB.
