Pakistan’s leading conglomerate warns of rising competition from Chinese auto brands​

Ali Ahmed
October 28, 2025



Lucky Cement Limited, a Pakistani business conglomerate, has cautioned that competition in the country’s automobile sector is intensifying, driven by the entry of new Chinese brands and the government’s decision to liberalise the commercial import of used cars.

In its director’s report, released on Tuesday, the company noted that while the automobile market’s overall outlook is gradually turning positive, “at the same time competition is intensifying with the entry of new and additional Chinese brands in the market as well as the government’s decision to liberalise the commercial import of used cars“.

However, the company remains confident that with the introduction of its new models, “Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) is positioned to benefit by safeguarding profit margins and enhancing competitiveness in a recovering market”.

KARACHI: Car sales in Pakistan jumped 67% year-on-year (YoY) to 17,174 units in September 2025, according to Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) data, with analysts attributing the increase to a stable macroeconomic environment, introduction of more variants, lower interest rates, easing inflation reading, and improving consumer sentiment.

The sales surged 22% in the month under review compared to the previous month of October 2025.

The month-on-month (MoM) growth in September 2025 was primarily driven by strong sales in two key variants; HCAR’s Civic and City models, which rose 183% to 1,977 units, and Pak Suzuki’s Ravi, which recorded a 190% increase to 1,722 units.

Auto sales rev up in October​

Aamir Shafaat Khan
November 12, 2025

KARACHI: Pakistan’s automotive market showed strong growth in October, with sales of cars, vans, pickups and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) rising to 17,333 units, marking a 32 per cent year-on-year (YoY) increase and a modest 1pc month-on-month (MoM) rise.

According to Myesha Sohail of Topline Securities, the YoY growth reflects a stabilising macroeconomic environment, introduction of new variants, lower interest rates, easing inflation, and improving consumer sentiment.

MoM sales remained largely unchanged, mainly due to an 18pc decline in Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) volumes amid a company-wide reset. The discontinuation of models such as Ravi, Bolan, Every VX, and Wagon R led to MoM declines of 17pc, 84pc, and 28pc in Swift, Ravi, and Every, respectively. Bolan, meanwhile, has seen no sales since May 2025.

Cumulative sales in the first four months of FY26 rose 46pc to 59,600 units, compared to 40,693 units in the same period last year.

Car, van, pickup and SUV sales surge 32pc year-on-year

Indus Motor Company (IMC) posted the highest MoM growth, with sales climbing 44pc to 4,529 units. Corolla, Yaris, and Cross models collectively rose 41pc MoM and 78pc YoY to 3,742 units, while Fortuner and IMVs jumped 58pc MoM and 83pc YoY to 787 units. IMC’s four-month sales stood at 14,418 units, up 66pc YoY.

Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) set a new record, selling 140,178 CD70 motorcycles in October, surpassing its September 2025 record.

Tractor sales jumped 67pc YoY and 265pc MoM to 2,886 units in October, boosted by the Punjab Green Tractor Scheme. However, 4MFY26 sales fell 15pc to 5,867 units.

Truck and bus sales surged 118pc YoY in October, though they dipped seven per cent MoM to 766 units. In the first four months of FY26, sales had risen 106pc to 2,630 units.
