ACI Ltd, one of the leading diversified conglomerates in Bangladesh, plans to enter the property and semiconductor businesses.

The group will form two new subsidiaries—ACI Properties Ltd and ACI Semiconductor Ltd—according to decisions by the ACI board, taken on Thursday.

The group has 17 subsidiaries and five joint ventures.

ACI, in disclosures made through advertisements, said it would form ACI Properties Ltd with an authorised capital of Tk 100 crore and a paid-up capital of Tk 10 crore. 

ACI will hold 85 percent of the shares, subject to the approval of the concerned authority.

The group operates under five strategic business units, spanning health, consumer care, agribusiness, and motors, and said its semiconductor subsidiary will also have an authorised capital of Tk 100 crore and a paid-up capital of Tk 10 crore. 

In this case, ACI will hold 85 percent of the shares.

The conglomerate said the formation of the subsidiaries is subject to the approval of the concerned authority.

The group suffered losses for the third consecutive year in the financial year 2024–25.

ACI, however, posted a profit in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025–26.
