Amid dismal volumetric performance by other vehicle categories (declines for LCVs, HCVs, Tractors and three wheelers ranged from -13% to -26%, while M/Cycles sales have remained flat), the outperformance of passenger car segment is likely to have been driven by 1) large order book at the start of the year, 2) pre-buying resulting from pre-an...

Federal Budget 2018-19: Massive reforms ahead of the elections
Federal Budget 2018-19: Massive reforms ahead of the elections Contrary to its populist appearance, Federal Budget FY19 is NOT a populist election year budget. It restricts non-filers of tax returns from purchasing all new motor vehicles, and property valued above PKR 4.0mn. Non-tax filers comprise 98% of Pakistan’s labor force. The budget introduces substantial punitive measures for concealment of foreign / domestic income / assets, thereby enhancing incentives to avail the amnesty scheme whic...
