On March 27, 2025, Sanghar Sugar Mills Limited reiterated information previously shared in its Annual Report 2024 and during a Corporate Briefing Session transmitted via PUCARS on January 6, 2025.

Despite the ongoing fluctuations, the company maintains that there are no significant developments or matters within its operations to account for the shifts in share prices.
