The government aims to formulate a new auto policy to end the monopoly of some car firms in the local automotive industry, as stated by the media. It additionally featured that the Auto Development Policy (ADP) 2016-21 will lapse by 30 June, and that the Ministry of Industries and Production has expressed that the new strategy will take into account the import of vehicles.
The arrangement gave various concessions and advantages to the automakers trying to enter the Pakistani market. In addition, inferable from the current ADP, various carmakers had either entered or made their rebounds to a warm gathering by Pakistani buyers.
The report further expresses that the new arrangement will disavow the concessions given to participants and that the paces of the duties on the import of vehicles will be decreased. Extra concessions will be considered to support the import of cars. A few days back, the central government had coordinated the Ministry of Industries and Production (MoIP) to start an examination of the car firms to decide the subtleties of their powerlessness to expand creation capacity. The automakers’ failure to fulfill the needs of the nearby market has offered ascend to the illicit premium culture whereby certain vendors add an extra sum over a vehicle’s MSRP.
It is certainly a logical step forward to implement a new strategy for the auto industry. Fostering imports instead of country-based manufacturing, however, is a dubious move as it contradicts the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan for Pakistan’s self-reliant and secure auto industry.
