Islamabad, April 9, 2024 – The Utility Stores Corporation (USC) has marked a historic achievement with record-breaking sales of Rs 44 billion during the holy month of Ramadan, surpassing its set target of Rs 40 billion under the Prime Minister’s Relief Package.
This milestone represents the highest-ever sales recorded by the USC in its history.
In an official statement released on Tuesday, a spokesman for the corporation hailed the achievement as a testament to the dedication and hard work of the management and staff. “USC has achieved historic sales in the Prime Minister’s Ramadan Relief Package 2024 and has broken all its previous records,” the spokesman stated.
The success of the USC in surpassing its sales target can be attributed to timely arrangements and professional planning by the management, ensuring the smooth availability of essential items throughout the month of Ramadan.
The government had announced a historic subsidy of Rs 12.5 billion through the USC, facilitating the provision of essential items at subsidized rates to registered families, including those under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) up to PMT-60.
“The management and workers worked day and night to successfully deliver 19 basic items under this Prime Minister’s Ramazan Relief Package to registered families of BISP up to PMT-60,” the spokesman added.
One of the key factors contributing to the success of USC’s operations was the implementation of modern technology and computerization. The spokesman highlighted that every transaction is now recorded, enabling efficient monitoring of USC operations and ensuring transparency in all processes.
The USC’s strategic approach and well-organized supply chain management system played a pivotal role in achieving the unprecedented sales target. “Due to the excellent strategy of Utility Stores Corporation and a well-organized supply chain management system, achieving such a huge sales target was made possible, which is undoubtedly a positive step for the growth of any organization,” the spokesman remarked.
The USC serves as a vital institution in Pakistan, providing essential commodities to the masses at affordable prices, particularly during times of heightened demand such as Ramadan. The corporation’s ability to meet the needs of the population while ensuring affordability underscores its importance in promoting socio-economic welfare and alleviating financial burdens on low-income families.
As the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, the USC’s achievement of record-breaking sales serves as a beacon of success and resilience amid challenging circumstances. The corporation’s commitment to serving the people of Pakistan and its ability to adapt to changing market dynamics position it as a cornerstone of the country’s retail sector.
