2. Pakistani Automobile Industry
Government’s monoply:
Pakistan's Automobile industry is declining day-by-day
due to the corrupt monopolies of the Government itself.
Currently there are the brands of Suzuki, Honda and
Toyota and the Government and the Automobile
industry is ripping off people by providing sub-standard
cars
3. Indian automobile Industry
India manufectures over 11 million 2 and 4 wheeled
vehicles and exports about 1.5 million every year.
India is the 2nd largest manufecturer of the worl.
India’s passenger cars and commerical vehicles
manufecturing industry is the seventh largest in the
world.
6. High Prices Of Cars In Pakistan
We do not have much choices to buy from
. In Pakistan, you get a sub-standard 1.3L Toyota
Corolla XLi (extremely trimmed-off version of
Europe's corolla) for $16890 (USD) and that too
without Power Windows, AirBags, Cruise Control,
Immobiliser etc.
We have Toyota Prius 2015 sold at a whopping 4.6
Million rupees or $46000. It would be unfair not to
mention Toyota Camry (Sold for $1,09,490 here in
Pakistan whereas in USA it is being sold for $28000).
7. Contined…
Honda Accord (Sold in Pakistan for $1,06,540 while
sold in USA for $22,205 as a starting price and $34000
for the Touring version). We get the facelifts of the
models (in case of Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Honda
City) 2,3 years later after they have been launched in
USA and Europe.
Our most sold cars include Suzuki Mehran (You can't
possibly spot much differences between a 2016 Mehran
and a 1986 Mehran). The interior of a 2016 Suzuki
Mehran is in the picture below:
9. Impored cars devaluated local
brands
Most of the people in Pakistan have now started
importing vehicles from Japan that give them quite a
good value for their money and the assembly and safety
standards of Japanese cars is like a 100x better than those
cars that are manufactured in Pakistan. Now Pak-Suzuki
is finding ways(possibly bribing the Government to
impose higher custom duties) to lower the import rate of
Japanese cars inside Pakistan as the imports have
affected their sales quite badly.
10. where Indian Govt have revised
policy to atract investors
In 2006, india rated the 11th largest market in the
world.the segment was booming and the indian govt
drew up plans for the automotive plans 2006
(AMP2006)
One of the key elements to the indian industrial
growth is the value chain. India is the one of the most
price competative markets globally and sourcing as
well as producing componets up the walue chain can
have dizzy effect in success and therefore growth
11. Masures to improve pakistan’s
automotive industry
Pakistan govt should make policies to give tax
incentive to new automobile makers to atract them to
invest in pakistan
Also should enforce safety standard and model
upgrading policies so that obsolete vehicles like
mehran,bolan,ravi cultus should improve their
standard to match their prices.
Should reduce custom duties on import cars to relief
people on pakistan
