Employees are reportedly receiving severance packages under an N+5 compensation scheme, a move reflecting broader industry challenges amid shifting market demand. The company’s decision comes as it seeks to align operations with weaker-than-expected performance, raising questions about its long-term strategy in the face of economic headwinds. Details on the scale of the workforce reductions and their broader impact on production remain under review.
