"Now, 30 per cent of the local demand for geysers is met through imports. Rangpur Metal is fulfilling about 45 per cent of the domestic need. We hope that, in five years, this appliance will not have to be imported. And after meeting the local demand, we plan to export it," he said.
Shariful Islam, head of marketing at Rangpur Metal, said: "The demand for geysers grows during the winter season. We have launched app-controlled geysers this year, considering the demand of the buyers. The geysers can be turned on and off from anywhere with the app; the temperature can also be controlled."
