Pak Suzuki Motors halts production
KARACHI (Web Desk) - Citing a shortage of completely-knocked down (CKD) kits in the country, Pak Suzuki Motor Company Ltd (PSMCL) has announced to suspend its production from Jan 2-6, 2023.
The company said its assembly plant of two-wheelers would also remain closed during this period.
According to the company, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on May 20 introduced a mechanism for prior approval for import under HS Code 8703 category (including CKDs) which had adversely impacted the clearance of imported consignments, thus affecting the inventory levels.
