SAZEW is a premier CNG 4 Stroke Auto Rickshaw (3 Wheelers) and Automotive Wheel Rims manufacturer.

With manufacturing facilities based in Pakistan and a Global Dealer Network, Sazgar is leading the Pakistani market and exporting to international markets.

In a positive development for the company,  the Board of Directors (BoD) has approved the acquisition of land worth approximately Rs847 million adjacent to the four-wheeler project.

The land measures nearly 110 kanals, and its final value is subject to the actual measurement of land.

Additionally, SAZEW has been granted the first license for electric rickshaw manufacturing at a special ceremony organized by the Punjab Transport Department in Lahore today.

Despite these encouraging developments, the company's scrip has witnessed a major setback today as the market reacted to weak sales data for the month. 

Currently, it is trading at Rs211.20, reflecting a decline of 4.51 rupees or 2.91% on the day.
