WEB DESK: Pakistan’s automotive sector witnessed an increase in the production and sale of vehicles and motorcycles during the current fiscal year. The industry recorded significant activity during the first 10 months of FY 2025–26, according to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
Car Production and Sales
According to the data, the production of vehicles with engine capacities of 1,300cc and above reached 68,022 units, while sales stood at 66,997 units. The production of 1,000cc vehicles was recorded at 3,894 units, with sales reaching 4,259 units. Meanwhile, vehicles with engine capacities below 1,000cc recorded production of 58,995 units and sales of 55,493 units.
Although progress in the electric vehicle segment remained limited, the figures indicate positive growth, with 270 vehicles produced and 293 sold.
Commercial Vehicles and Tractors
The production of jeeps and pickups reached 38,094 units, while sales totaled 39,002 units. Truck production stood at 6,174 units, with sales recorded at 5,890 units. Similarly, 799 buses were produced and 797 sold. In the agricultural sector, tractor production reached 24,209 units, while sales totaled 23,116 units.
Motorcycles Lead the Industry
The motorcycle segment remained the largest contributor to the industry, with 1.592 million motorcycles produced and 1.587 million units sold. Three-wheelers also recorded notable activity, with production reaching 33,733 units and sales totaling 32,593 units.
Sector Resilience
These figures reflect the continued growth and resilience of Pakistan’s automotive sector during the current fiscal year, which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The data suggests steady consumer demand despite economic challenges, including inflation and rising input costs.
Industry analysts attribute the growth to improved supply chains, increased localization of parts, and renewed consumer confidence following stabilization measures. The motorcycle segment’s dominance highlights the continued preference for affordable personal mobility solutions, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. The electric vehicle segment, while still small, shows early signs of adoption, with industry stakeholders expecting gradual growth as charging infrastructure expands and government incentives take effect. The tractor segment’s performance also reflects resilience in the agricultural sector, which remains a key driver of the rural economy. PAMA officials have expressed optimism about the sector’s trajectory heading into the final two months of the fiscal year. The association continues to work with government stakeholders on policy measures aimed at sustaining growth, including tariff rationalization and support for localization efforts. The complete fiscal year data, including June 2026 figures, is expected to be released in July.
