In a significant move following the recently imposed NEV Levy as part of the Pakistan government’s 2025-26 budget, Gandhara Industries has increased the prices of its Isuzu D-Max pickup truck by up to Rs. 400,000. The updated prices, effective from 1st July 2025, have left many consumers rethinking their purchasing decisions.
This marks the latest development in a wave of price hikes across various automotive brands in Pakistan, including Honda Atlas, Pak Suzuki, Changan, Hyundai Pakistan, and Kia Motors, all of whom have raised prices in response to the government’s new tax policies and rising inflation.
