As expected, the ongoing economic disaster and closed LCs leading to production shutdowns has further shattered the already dwindling car sales. The incumbent government carries no coercive and well-thought plan to repair the damage the prevailing economic breakdown has done to the local auto industry. Resultantly, assembly plants of various car companies are observing lockdown in the country.

As per Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) report, month-on-month (MoM) car sales marks a new downtrend – decreased by 47%, selling 5,762 vehicles in February 2023. The episode narrating a series of never tale or woes and miseries never ends here – year-on-year (YoY) sales witnessed a decline of whopping 73%.
