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.

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.
