Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSX: PSMC) has officially informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange of its temporary three-day closure of its motorcycle plant.
Inventory Shortages Prompt the Shutdown

Recurrent Production Shutdowns in 2023
In 2023, Pak Suzuki, a well-known Japanese automaker in Pakistan, has faced multiple shutdowns, becoming a recurring issue that has generated worries within the industry and among investors.
August Shutdown Extensions
* In August, Pak Suzuki initially announced a motorcycle plant shutdown from August 18 to August 31.
Subsequently, on August 31, the company decided to extend the shutdown until September 12.
Finally, on September 12, the shutdown was further extended until September 15.
Previous shutdowns in 2023
Throughout this year, the company encountered comparable difficulties in July, June, and May. On each occasion, the reasons for production disruptions were attributed to either low inventory or a shortage of essential raw materials.
Impact on Sales and Revenue
Being the leading automobile manufacturer in Pakistan regarding production and sales, Pak Suzuki has witnessed a notable drop in both sales and revenue because of these intermittent production stoppages. This decline has been especially noticeable since 2022, and generally, industry participants have voiced concerns about the challenges of securing import permits for their production quotas.
The repeated plant closures have not only impacted the company’s financial results but have also prompted inquiries about the larger issues confronting the Pakistani automotive sector.
