A recent news report has revealed that Hyundai Nishat is planning to scale up its production by 100 percent within the first quarter of the calendar year 2021. In a statement issued by Hyundai-Nishat Motor (Pvt) Ltd., CEO Hassan Mansha, said that the company will adopt a double-shift schedule in order to further its production capacity in the new year.
“This will ensure that Hyundai-Nishat continues to play its part by creating further employment opportunities as network and capacity are expanded,” Mansha said in his statement. He added that this company also seeks to put an end to the delays to minimize the delivery times in order to better accommodate the rising demand for its vehicles.
