The company stated that its assembly plant two-wheelers will also remain closed during this period.

In a stock filing on Monday, the PSMCL company said the State Bank of Pakistan on May 20 introduced a mechanism for prior approval for import under HS Code 8703 category (including CKDs) which had adversely affected the clearance of imported consignments thus affecting the inventory levels.
