Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) on Wednesday announced another temporary shutdown of its automobile plant amid inventory shortage. In its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), PSMC said: "Due to shortage of inventory level, the management of the company has decided to shut down the automobile plant from November 09, 2023 to November 14, 2023." Meanwhile, the motorcycle plant will remain operative. During the course of the year, the Japanese automaker has announced shutdowns over a dozen times. Last week, it said it would keep its automobile plant shut till November 3. It made similar announcements in October, September, August, June and May as well, citing a lack of raw material. Last month, the Board of Directors (BoD) of PSMC decided to purchase all outstanding shares of the company and delist from the PSX, citing low valuations and losses.
