 SUMMARY
Many companies have already confirmed their plans for investing in Pakistan in the
coming year, while others are in the process of acquiring the necessary approvals and local
support. 2018 has been exciting for Pakistan’s auto industry as many foreign investors and car
makers have vowed to bring their top of the line vehicles to the local market. At present, the auto
market is dominated by Honda, Toyota and Suzuki. However, Pakistan government passed the
"Auto Policy 2016-21", which offers tax incentives to new automakers to establish manufacturing
plants in the country. In response, Renault, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, FAW and many
Chinese car makers have expressed interest in entering the Pakistani market. So far more than 12
automakers have announced to collaborate with different companies in Pakistan, under the
Greenfield as well as Brownfield investment categories. These automobile companies have
collectively made an investment of more than $800 million in our country. Pakistan has not
enforced any automotive safety standards or model upgrade policies. It is a great step by
Pakistan’s government as it will not just boost the auto industry of Pakistan but also create job
opportunities in the country. The economy will flourish and Pakistan will develop further.
Initially, all new OEM will import in CBU conditions to the maximum of 5 years to enjoy tax
benefit offered by government in the latest Automotive Policy. Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC)
Chairman Osamu Suzuki also expressed his interest to invest $450 million in setting up a second
production plant in Karachi. The government would be giving Greenfield status to Pak Suzuki but
if stakeholders do not agree, government will not be giving Pak Suzuki Motor Greenfield status
for its new plant because this category is only for new investors and new technology.
