Bangladesh Auto Re-Rolling and Steel Mills Association

The steel sector is currently facing significant challenges due to raw material import cost volatility, foreign exchange shortages, and energy supply constraints.

Manwar Hossain (Anwar Group of Industries) is named chairman/president of BARSMA across multiple news reports, but available sources predominantly date from earlier years and no precise election/start date was found, so president_since is null and status is partial. Title used is Chairman. Note a separately-named body 'BSMA' (Bangladesh Steel Manufacturers Association) also makes steel-sector budget demands; care taken not to conflate. No official BARSMA website confirmed; founding year, member count and HQ not verified.
