Dulamia is operating with approximately 27,000 spindles with a production capacity of about 75,00,000 pounds (lbs) of 100% cotton yarn per annum. Although DMCSML produces solely for the domestic markets,

its raw material comes from Sudan, Tanzania, the USA, Cameroon, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, India, and Pakistan. DMCSML can also boast to be a pioneer in employing women. Out of about 900 workers, staff, and officers, 682 are women. Women have been working in Dulamia since its inception and became the majority of the working staff by 1995. Yet another unique feature of Dulamia is that it began supplying dress and lunch to its workers and staff since its inception, an unprecedented act in any industry in Bangladesh at that time.

DMCSML is located in Dagonbhuiyan, Feni, the hometown of Abdul Awal Mintoo. The idea behind setting up a factory there was to improve the socio-economic conditions of the population of Dagonbhuiyan and Feni as a whole. At the time the factory began operations, that area of Bangladesh was neither an industrial belt, nor a commercial one. In fact and barely anyone even built industries outside greater Dhaka and greater Chittagong. Today Dagonbhuiyan is the commercial hub of Feni with its land prices being amongst the most expensive in Bangladesh.
