Auto sector’s struggle persists despite growth potential

Pakistan’s automotive sector continues to face structural challenges, including policy inconsistency, low capacity utilization, and rising reliance on used car imports, even as it retains significant growth potential within the regional market. These issues were discussed during a recent industry engagement hosted by Indus Motor Company, where company leadership shared insights on market trends and policy direction with a group of media representatives. During the session, Chief Executive Officer of Indus Motor Company, Ali Asghar Jamali, presented insights into Pakistan’s automotive performance relative to regional peers. Pakistan remains one of only 16 countries worldwide capable of manufacturing passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses.
