ISLAMABAD: Aamir Allahwala, former chairman Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers, on Tuesday told a Senate panel that manufacturing of Suzuki’s Mehran car will come to an end within the next two months.
He was briefing the Senate’s Standing Committee on Industries and Production which was presided over by Senator Ahmed Khan.
Allahwala said most parts of the vehicle, including engines, are being made in Pakistan.
Amir Allahwala further informed the committee that 96 per cent of motorcycles are being made in Pakistan. We are exporting motorcycles to Afghanistan while the cars are being exported to Nepal and Sri Lanka,” he told.
“An estimated 2.4 million people are associated with the automotive manufacturing industry in the country,” he told the upper House.
The committee was also informed about the number of cars being imported by Pakistan which stands at 75000. To which, the committee has sought details of the imported vehicles.
Allahwala also revealed that “nine automotive manufacturers were working to bring an investment worth $1.50 billion to Pakistan”.
But why ??? Has Pak Suzuki grown a conscience ??? Or has this Nation developed a sense of value for money ? Pls keep at it for already another 50 years, so we can all rejoice over a Centenary model.
😂😂😂😂 well said bro….
Its all because of the upcoming competition. Suzuki is afraid they will lose their monopoly and wont be able to bribe the government anymore to maintain its monopoly.
Acha hua khote rare band ho gae awam ko boht lot lea in kuton ne ye sb band hone chye
Suzuki is basically looting the common man selling Mehran at Rs.850,000/- in Pakistan whereas the same vehicle is being sold at Rs.375,000/- in India
