Would be interesting if BR would analyze the latest results to share the magic product mix which led to lower sales and higher profits. Indus did their utmost to “hide” profit by expanding Operating Expenses. How can this go unchecked by Auditors and Board? Why is SECP quiet? Is it true record number of High profit Vigo and Land Cruiser were sold to Govt.???
