- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Of the seven cited sources, four are brief mentions, and two are not independent (press release and company website). From the remaining source I can squeeze one encyclopedia-worthy sentence, "In 2010, Aftab Foods spent US$2.4 million to launch ground spices operations." [1]
Searches of the usual Google types, EBSCO, Gale, JSTOR, and ProQuest found little else about this Aftab Group (there are unrelated ones in Pakistan and the UAE-Iran). At most, I could add "In 2011, Aftab Jute Mills planned to commence spinning 15 tonnes of yarn a day." [2] (Nine years later, the parent website still says "Aftab Jute Mills ltd is going to be added to Aftab Group to march its venture within a short span of time with a large variety of jute products in and innovative manner. It is to be situated at Rupshi in Narayangonj," so it doesn't look like their plans ever came to fruition). And "As of 2019, Aftab Milk is one of 14 milk pasteurizers in the country and splits a 20% share of the market with ten other companies." [3]
There would be more than three sentences to say about a 60-year-old private company if it were notable. WP:NCORP calls for WP:SIGCOV - coverage that addresses the topic directly and in detail. That doesn't exist for Aftab Group. Worldbruce ( talk) 01:38, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per the thorough nom and WP:NCORP. I searched ProQuest and came up with some hits in Al Bawaba for an apparently unrelated company (which I don't think would establish notability even if they were about the same company). AleatoryPonderings ( talk) 00:09, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
