This strategic shift allows the company to concentrate entirely on its core businesses: trading in commercial vehicles and its BPCL petroleum dealership, operating as a going concern.

The company continues to uphold corporate governance standards, as evidenced by its audited FY25 results (reported May 29, 2025) with an unmodified audit opinion, and the appointment of internal and secretarial auditors.
