Taihan Electric Wire Co has won a $119 million deal in Australia. Under the deal with TransGrid, one of largest transmission utilities in Australia, Taihan Electric Wire will install 330kV underground cables in New South Wales. The contract was won on a full turnkey basis, meaning Taihan Electric Wire will deliver the cables as well as take charge of design, cable installation, jointing and commissioning.

Industries Minister for Bangladesh, Mr Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, has directed the Bangladesh standards and testing institution to instigate a “drive” against factories manufacturing illegal and substandard steel rods. In his address to a meeting with representatives of the Bangladesh Steel Manufacturers Association, the minister said: “The drive will be run for the sake of public interest.”
