Atlas Honda shuts down production plant during march 2023

Pakistan’s automaker Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited (HCAR) has temporarily shut down its plant from March 9 to 31, citing supply chain disruptions.

The business informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange of its choice in a notification (PSX).

The notice stated that the company's supply chain had been severely disrupted by the government's measures, which included restricting the opening of Letters of Credit (LCs) for the import of CKD kits and raw materials as well as stopping foreign payments, due to Pakistan's current economic situation.

As a result, the company is unable to maintain manufacturing and will finally have to shut down its plant between March 9 and March 31, 2023, according to Atlas Honda.
