Directors' Report

The Directors are pleased to present the report along with the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Ghandhara Automobiles Limited (Formerly Ghandhara Nissan Limited) for the Nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Despite challenges and uncertainties, economy is showing continuous signs of resilience as depicted through contained fiscal and current account deficit during the current FY. This has been the result of Government's policies to discourage imports especially related to the non-essential sectors. Import of luxury items have been either restricted or imposed with significantly higher duties and taxes. Thus, forex reserves have remained comparatively stable during the recent past after a mammoth fall since last year. Moreover, the Government is firmly inclined to successfully complete the IMF's EFF program, which includes necessary policy measures and will bring additional relief to the financial account of the balance of payments. The policy measures are intended to bring expenditures more in line with the income generated within the country. At fiscal front, Government is pursuing fiscal consolidation in order to reduce the overall fiscal deficit through expenditure management, austerity measures, and revenue mobilization.

The industry continues to face CKD shortages due to the State Bank's (SBP) restrictions on opening new letters of credit (LCs), resulting in plant closures and long delivery times for vehicles.

As per PAMA, sales volumes of auto industry for Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs) were 2,825 units during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 4,493 units during the corresponding period of last year showing a decline of 37%. For Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), sales were 1,488 units during the nine month ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 1,996 units during the corresponding period of last year showing a decline of 25%. Whereas for Passenger Car segment, sales were 39,912 units during the nine-month ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 75,207 units during the corresponding period of last year showing a decline of 47%.
