- DFSK C37 1500CC, 11 seater (Van): Revised price PKR 1,599,000
Regal Automobile Industries stated that due to the devaluation of Rupee against the dollar and the constant increase in the price of petrol, the company is forced to raise the prices. As mentioned before, Pak Suzuki has also increased the prices of its vehicles, and the company sent a circular to its dealerships across Pakistan in this regard and informed them about the new prices and the date from which the new prices will come into effect, which is 1 March 2018—meaning today. Pak Suzuki has jacked up the prices of its vehicles up to 50,000.
Moreover, the government has also hiked the prices of petroleum products up to PKR 6.
