Siddiqsons Tin Plate Limited (PSX: STPL) has decided to roll back the Tin Mill Black Plate (TMBP) project.
The Board has reached an important decision regarding the Tin Mill Black Plate (TMBP) project. Due to the challenging economic conditions, characterized by high inflation, increased markup rates, and significant fluctuations in the PKR to USD parity, the company has decided to roll back the TMBP project, it said in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.
The notice said that the current economic environment has created a situation where the continuation of the TMBP project is not financially feasible. Additionally, the rising costs of materials and equipment, coupled with the higher cost of capital, has significantly impacted the project’s projected returns and the company’s ability to proceed as initially planned.
This decision has been taken considering the company’s need to prioritize the financial stability and sustainability of its operations during these uncertain times. The company remains committed to managing its resources responsibly and ensuring the long-term viability of its business, it added.
