Pakistan’s automobile industry has achieved a new milestone. Over the last three fiscal years, 434 locally assembled, Made-in-Pakistan, vehicles have been exported to 20 countries. The export volume and value have grown steadily, marking a significant shift for the sector.
The data was revealed by Finance and Revenue Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in response to a question from Senator Shahadat Awan. It shows that Pakistan’s auto industry is slowly expanding its global footprint.
Expanding Global Reach
Made-in-Pakistan cars have reached diverse markets. These include Japan, Afghanistan, UAE, Thailand, Lebanon, Kenya, Nigeria, the US, China, Sri Lanka, and several African nations like Ghana and Togo.
This broad export map reflects rising global interest in Pakistan’s vehicles, from compact cars to SUVs and electric rickshaws.
Eight major automakers are driving this growth:
- Pak Suzuki Motor Co. Ltd.
- Sazgar Engineering Works Ltd.
- Honda Atlas Cars
- United Auto Industries
- Lucky Motor Corporation
- Hyundai Nishat Motors
- Master Changan Motors
- Indus Motor Company
These companies have exported popular models such as Toyota Corolla Altis, Suzuki Alto, Suzuki Swift, and Honda City, along with mini-vans, SUVs, and EV rickshaws.
Consistent Growth in Exports
Pakistan’s vehicle exports have grown year by year. Both units exported and total export value have surged.
Below is a breakdown of the last three fiscal years:
| Fiscal Year | Units Exported | Value (Pakistani Rupees) |
| 2022-23 | 100 vehicles | Rs. 94.7 million |
| 2023-24 | 107 vehicles | Rs. 388.2 million |
| 2024-25 | 227 vehicles | Rs. 936.9 million |
The numbers highlight a sharp rise between FY2022-23 and FY2024-25, with export value jumping from Rs. 94.7 million to Rs. 936.9 million.
A Promising Future for Local Auto Industry
This upward trend, regarding the Made-in-Pakistan cars exports, signals growing confidence in local assembly quality and competitiveness. It also reflects policy improvements, better manufacturing capabilities, and a shift towards export-oriented production.
If the momentum continues, Pakistan could strengthen its position in regional and global automobile markets. The mix of traditional and electric vehicles being exported also shows the industry’s gradual diversification.
