Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Japan, on Tuesday announced a temporary shutdown of its plant, citing supply chain disruptions.
“In pursuance to our letter dated October 30, 2023, the company has decided to further extend the shutdown of its plant from November 08, 2023, to November 09, 2023,” said Honda Atlas Cars in its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
“Any change in plan will be updated accordingly,” it added.
Last month, the automaker announced to shut down its plant from October 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023, which was later extended to November 07, 2023.
The company back then said that the current level of inventory and parts shortages of the company’s supply chain has been severely disrupted.
“As a result, the company is not in a position to continue with its production,” it had said.
Earlier this year, the automaker shut its production activity from March 09 to May 15, citing deteriorating economic situation in the country and government restrictions over the issuance of Letters of Credit (LCs).
