Pakistan's auto sales race to four-year high, jump 41% in October

Pakistan’s vehicle industry sold 29,590 units in October, up 41% from a year earlier and its highest monthly total in more than four years, according to Profit by Pakistan Today, citing AKD Research and PAMA data. Sales were 66% above September, with passenger cars rising 60% to 21,635 units. For July to October of FY2026-27, total industry sales advanced 28% to 86,906 units.

The gains varied among assemblers. Pak Suzuki’s sales more than doubled to 15,921 units, led by the Alto, while Indus Motor’s volume fell 10% to 4,073 and Honda Atlas Cars’ declined 19% to 2,101. Sazgar’s October figures were unavailable when the report was prepared; Millat Tractors and Al-Ghazi Tractors recorded year-on-year sales increases of 25% and 87%, respectively.

AKD expects industry volumes to grow 20% in FY2026-27, citing lower financing rates, stable vehicle prices and improving economic conditions. The report also notes uncertainty around the new auto policy, including proposed duty reductions for imported vehicles and tax concessions for electric and hybrid models, which could alter competition for local assemblers.
