Earlier, Bloomberg reported in August that the Chinese automaker BYD will be working in a joint venture with Mega Motors to set up a factory near Karachi’s Port Qasim area that houses assembly plants for other automobile companies including Toyota, Suzuki Motor, and Kia’s local units.
The factory will be completed in the first half of 2026 with exact details of the plant still under discussion, according to the source. It will also set up showrooms in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad to start selling in the fourth quarter of this year, according to the source.
On August 17, 2024, BYD officially entered the Pakistani market. The company’s launch event was held in Lahore’s Expo Centre where it showcased its long-term vision for Pakistan and commitment to leading the automotive revolution towards sustainable mobility.
The launch event was attended by Federal Minister for Finance Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, who welcomed BYD’s arrival as a milestone in Pakistan’s journey towards sustainability.
Three models BYD Sealion 6, BYD Seal, and BYD Atto 3—were unveiled during the event.
