Toyota Indus Eyes Hybrid Growth in Pakistan

/

The Toyota Indus Corporate Briefing highlighted the company’s future strategy, pricing outlook, and rising competition from Chinese automakers in Pakistan. The company discussed its latest financial performance and shared insights about vehicle demand, localization efforts, and the future of hybrid and electric vehicles in the country. According to details shared during the briefing, Toyota Indus acknowledged that competition in Pakistan’s auto market has intensified. Chinese brands, especially the BYD Shark 6, have increased pressure on Toyota’s Hilux sales in urban markets. However, the company stated that rural demand for the Hilux remained stable despite growing competition. Toyota officials said Fortuner sales performed strongly during the year. Volumes doubled on a yearly basis, showing strong customer demand in the SUV segment. The company also explained the recent reduction in Fortuner prices. Management clarified that the move was not a temporary discount campaign. Instead, the reduction came from structural cost improvements. Officials stated that government tax reductions contributed nearly 60 to 70 percent of the total price decrease. The remaining savings came through localization improvements and lower production costs. Toyota passed these benefits directly to customers. The Toyota Indus Corporate Briefing also focused heavily on the future of electrification in Pakistan. The company said electric vehicles represent an unavoidable global transition. However, Toyota believes hybrid vehicles will gain wider acceptance in Pakistan before full electric vehicles become mainstream. Management explained that Pakistan still faces infrastructure and policy challenges related to EV adoption. Because of this, Toyota plans to focus more on hybrid technology in the short term. The company also confirmed that it plans to launch new models in different phases over the coming years. Further vehicle launches will depend on greater clarity regarding Pakistan’s National Electric Vehicle policy. Toyota shared details about its localization progress as well. The company revealed that localization levels for the Corolla, Yaris, and Corolla Cross now exceed 60 percent. Meanwhile, localization in the SUV and pickup segment, including Hilux and Fortuner, increased from 38 percent to more than 41 percent. Company officials said these improvements helped reduce production costs. Toyota transferred nearly 3 percent of the cost savings directly to consumers through lower prices. Despite growing Chinese competition, Toyota maintained confidence in its market position. Management stated that the company still holds more than 50 percent market share in most vehicle categories. The only major exception is the Corolla Cross segment, where market share stands between 25 and 30 percent because of stronger competition. Toyota also rejected the perception that its market position has weakened significantly. Officials stated that the company gained nearly 1 percent market share compared to last year. Management admitted that Toyota previously lost some customers to competing brands. However, they claimed many consumers have started returning to Toyota after trying alternative options. The company also announced fresh investment plans during the Toyota Indus Corporate Briefing. Toyota revealed an additional investment of Rs 1 billion for localization development in Pakistan. Officials described the investment as part of the company’s long term commitment to strengthening the domestic automotive industry. This latest allocation comes on top of nearly Rs 3 billion in previously approved localization investments. Toyota also discussed institutional sales and the imported used car market. According to management, government and corporate buyers together account for nearly 20 percent of total company sales. Both categories contribute equally to institutional demand. The company further noted that Pakistan imported 36,053 used vehicles between July 2025 and March 2026. However, imports dropped sharply to only 793 units in March 2026. Toyota linked this decline to disruptions caused by the US Iran conflict. For comparison, Pakistan imported more than 42,000 used vehicles during the full year of 2025. Management also expressed concern over uncertainty surrounding the used car import policy. Officials stated that the company is waiting for clear policy direction from the government. Toyota warned that current price reductions may not remain permanent. Officials said prices could rise again if production costs increase, especially after the upcoming federal budget. The company also highlighted uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s Auto Policy, which will expire on June 30, 2026. According to Toyota, discussions between the government and the auto industry are ongoing. However, both sides have yet to finalize agreements regarding future incentives and policy support.

Pakistan Plans Toll Free Motorway Access for Electric Vehicles

/

The federal government is preparing major reforms for Pakistan’s automobile sector under the upcoming Auto Policy 2026 to 2031. The new framework is expected to introduce fresh incentives for electric vehicles while gradually reducing long standing tariff protections in the industry. According to sources, the government plans to provide toll free access on motorways and national highways for New Energy Vehicles. These vehicles include battery electric vehicles, plug in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Officials believe the initiative will encourage consumers to shift toward cleaner and more energy efficient transport options. The proposal forms part of broader efforts to promote sustainable mobility and reduce dependence on imported fuel. Sources said the government wants to accelerate the adoption of modern vehicle technology in Pakistan through targeted incentives and policy reforms. The expected motorway toll relief aims to make electric vehicle ownership more attractive for consumers. The upcoming policy also includes major changes to Pakistan’s traditional auto protection regime. The government plans to phase out Additional Customs Duties completely by fiscal year 2029. At the same time, Regulatory Duties will see a sharp reduction over the next several years. Officials said these duties will decrease by nearly 80 percent by fiscal year 2030. The government also plans to abolish all concessionary Statutory Regulatory Orders linked to the auto sector by 2030. These concessions have historically played a major role in protecting local manufacturers from foreign competition. Officials believe the reforms will improve market competitiveness and attract new investment into Pakistan’s automobile industry. The policy further outlines a gradual reduction in import tariffs on vehicles. Duties on Completely Built Unit vehicles currently range from 50 percent to 100 percent. Under the proposed framework, these duties will decline to between 35 percent and 75 percent over the next five years. Similarly, the government plans to lower tariffs on Completely Knocked Down units used for local vehicle assembly. Duties on CKD units for cars, SUVs, and minivans will fall from 30 percent to 20 percent during the policy period. The reforms aim to reduce the weighted average applied tariff to below 6 percent by fiscal year 2030. Officials said the policy will continue supporting domestic manufacturing despite lower tariffs. Incentives for New Energy Vehicles will remain linked to localization requirements to encourage local production and parts manufacturing. Companies seeking policy benefits will need to increase local assembly and develop domestic supply chains. The government hopes this strategy will strengthen Pakistan’s automotive sector while supporting the transition toward cleaner transport technologies. Industry experts believe the reforms could transform the local automobile market in the coming years. Lower duties and electric vehicle incentives may attract international manufacturers and increase competition in Pakistan. Analysts also believe consumers could benefit from greater vehicle variety, improved technology, and potentially lower prices in the long term. The new policy comes at a time when governments around the world are promoting cleaner mobility solutions to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Pakistan now appears ready to move in the same direction with a stronger focus on electric and hybrid transportation. The Auto Policy 2026 to 2031 is expected to define the future of Pakistan’s automobile industry as authorities push for industrial growth, foreign investment, and sustainable transportation solutions.

Govt Plans New Loadshedding System Based on Consumer Bill Payments

Govt Plans New Loadshedding System Based on Consumer Bill Payments

/

The federal government is preparing to introduce a New Loadshedding System that will link electricity outages directly with consumer bill payments at the transformer level. Federal Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Leghari shared details of the proposed mechanism during a session of the National Assembly. He said the government plans to gradually replace the existing feeder based load management system with a transformer based model within the next year. Under the proposed framework, electricity supply will depend on recovery rates from consumers connected to specific transformers. Areas where residents regularly pay electricity bills will receive improved power supply, while locations with poor recoveries may continue facing load shedding. The government believes the policy will encourage timely payments and help reduce financial losses in Pakistan’s struggling power sector. Leghari said authorities currently maintain zero load shedding on nearly 11,500 feeders across the country. However, he explained that completely ending power cuts nationwide would sharply increase losses and place additional pressure on the energy sector. According to the minister, unpaid bills, electricity theft, and weak recoveries continue to damage the financial health of power distribution companies. Pakistan has relied on a feeder based load shedding system for many years. Under that model, electricity outages depend on line losses and recovery performance within a feeder area. Officials now believe the new transformer based approach can create a more accurate and fair system. The minister said the government is still working on technical details and implementation policies before the system becomes operational. Once finalized, the transition from feeder based load management will begin in phases. Officials argue that paying consumers should not suffer because of defaulters living within the same feeder zone. The new policy aims to separate responsible consumers from areas where electricity theft and non payment remain common. The announcement comes as the government faces increasing pressure to control circular debt and improve the financial condition of the power sector. In recent months, many consumers across Pakistan have complained about prolonged power outages despite paying bills on time. Citizens have repeatedly criticized the current system for treating regular bill payers and electricity thieves alike. Authorities hope the New Loadshedding System will improve accountability, strengthen bill recoveries, and reduce unnecessary electricity cuts for compliant consumers. Pakistan’s energy sector continues to face major economic challenges due to rising fuel prices, transmission losses, and unpaid electricity dues. The government believes reforms in the load management system are necessary to stabilize the sector and improve service delivery. Officials are expected to finalize implementation plans in the coming months before introducing the system nationwide.

Pakistan Enters Top 10 TBR Tyre Exporters to US, Brazil as Service Long March Drives Export Surge

/

KARACHI : Pakistan has emerged among the top 10 exporters of truck and bus radial (TBR) tyres to key global markets including the United States and Brazil, marking a significant shift in the country’s industrial and export landscape. Industry data indicates that Pakistani tyre exports have gained traction in recent years, with the United States and Brazil now among the largest destinations. At the centre of this momentum is Service Long March Tyres Limited (SLM), the country’s largest tyre manufacturer and exporter, which has rapidly expanded its international footprint since commencing operations in 2022. The company has recorded strong export growth across the United States, Brazil, as well as emerging markets such as South Africa and Egypt. The export push has been supported by compliance with stringent international standards, including certifications required for entry into regulated markets such as the US and Brazil, where quality and performance benchmarks remain critical for market access. Service Long March Tyres (SLM) is leveraging state-of-the-art Chinese technology to maintain one of the lowest production cost structures among tyre manufacturers in Pakistan, providing the company a strong competitive advantage in international markets and enabling it to export nearly 40% of its truck and bus radial (TBR) tyre production. Domestically, Pakistan’s tyre market continues to present significant scale. Annual demand is estimated at around 1.7 million units in the truck and bus segment, alongside approximately 7 million units for passenger vehicles. Historically, a large portion of this demand was met through imports, but local manufacturing is increasingly replacing imported volumes. SLM currently produces approximately 1.6 million TBR tyres annually and plans to expand capacity to 2 million units by July 2026 and 2.2 million units by June 2027. The company holds an estimated 58% share in the domestic TBR segment, positioning it as a key player in Pakistan’s import substitution efforts and foreign exchange savings. The company’s manufacturing facility in the Nooriabad Special Economic Zone provides logistical and cost advantages, supporting both domestic distribution and export competitiveness. Industry analysts note that the combination of rising exports, capacity expansion, and import substitution is gradually repositioning Pakistan’s tyre sector as a potential contributor to foreign exchange earnings. With further planned expansion into passenger car tyre manufacturing, alongside continued growth in commercial tyre output, Pakistan’s tyre industry is expected to strengthen its presence in global markets, reflecting a broader shift toward export-led industrial growth.

Trademark, Copyright, Patent Services to go fully digital under six-month reform drive: DG IPO-Pakistan

/

KARACHI: Director General of the Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan, Noman Aslam, announced that IPO Pakistan has launched an aggressive six-month digital transformation strategy aimed at modernizing Pakistan’s intellectual property ecosystem through automation, artificial intelligence, and online complaint management systems. The initiative is intended to make trademark, copyright, and patent services faster, more transparent, and business-friendly. Speaking during his visit to the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Noman Aslam said IPO Pakistan is moving away from traditional paperwork-based procedures toward a modern digital framework designed to reduce delays, improve examination quality, and minimize litigation linked to trademark disputes and registration issues. The meeting was attended by KCCI President Muhammad Rehan Hanif, Senior Vice President Muhammad Raza, former President Abdullah Zaki, members of the Executive Committee, and senior IPO officials. The DG explained that IPO Pakistan mainly serves as a facilitating and coordinating body, while complaints regarding infringement, piracy, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use are referred to relevant enforcement agencies depending on the nature of the violation. He said Pakistan Customs handles border-related infringements and piracy, the Federal Investigation Agency deals with copyright-related cases, while police manage trademark and market-level violations. Highlighting ongoing reforms, Noman Aslam informed participants that an Online Complaint Management System (CMS) has been launched and shared with 15 major chambers of commerce across Pakistan. The portal allows businesses to electronically file complaints and monitor cases online without visiting IPO offices. Chambers have also been given representation in IPO’s Enforcement Committees. He urged KCCI to spread awareness of the CMS among its members, particularly SMEs and startups, to help them benefit from the track-and-trace complaint mechanism designed to reduce paperwork and unnecessary visits. He added that IPO Pakistan is working on integrating its CMS with FIA and other law enforcement agencies to establish complete digital tracking of IP complaints, with a target of resolving cases within 30 days. The organization is also implementing a six-month roadmap focused on digitalization, automation, and institutional modernization while conducting webinars, workshops, and training sessions in collaboration with chambers and trade bodies to strengthen Pakistan’s innovation and knowledge economy. Responding to concerns regarding delays and workforce limitations, Noman Aslam said recent recruitments had helped reduce pending cases, but the organization was still dissatisfied with the pace of work. This prompted the adoption of AI-powered systems and automated processes aimed at improving transparency, consistency, and efficiency in trademark and patent examinations. He said IPO Pakistan has introduced job descriptions, performance benchmarks, and KPIs while continuously deploying AI-assisted technologies to improve service delivery. He added that more digital and AI-based services would be introduced over the next six months. Discussing Pakistan’s international obligations, he said trademark rules and procedures are being updated, while the Patent Ordinance 2000 is also being revised in line with global technological and business developments. Following stakeholder consultations, the draft amendments will soon be forwarded to the ministry and Cabinet for approval, while copyright laws are also being modernized. Earlier, KCCI President Muhammad Rehan Hanif highlighted concerns of the business community regarding delayed implementation of intellectual property laws. He said lengthy trademark and copyright registration procedures create major difficulties for genuine entrepreneurs and innovators, often allowing counterfeit or deceptively similar products and brand names to enter the market, causing financial and reputational damage to original businesses. He stressed the need to improve awareness regarding intellectual property laws, trademark protection, and enforcement procedures, particularly for SMEs and startups. He proposed introducing a user-friendly digital trademark search and pre-screening facility that would allow businesses to instantly verify the availability of brand names, logos, and trademarks before filing applications, integrated with online fee submission and application tracking systems. Muhammad Rehan Hanif also pointed out that many businesses suffer losses when misleading or deceptively similar names are approved, forcing companies into lengthy appeals and opposition proceedings. He urged IPO Pakistan to adopt stronger scrutiny mechanisms at the initial examination stage to prevent unnecessary litigation and market confusion. He further called for clearer and more widely publicized enforcement mechanisms for trademark infringement, copyright violations, and counterfeiting cases, noting that many businesses remain unaware whether complaints should be directed to IPO Pakistan, FIA, police, or other agencies. He requested IPO Pakistan to issue comprehensive complaint-handling guidelines and awareness material, assuring that KCCI would actively share such information with its members and the wider business community.

PMEX Acquisition of Naymat Accelerates Pakistan’s Agricultural Commodity Market Revolution

/

Pakistan’s commodity trading sector is heading toward a major transformation after Pakistan Mercantile Exchange Limited acquired a majority shareholding in Naymat Collateral Management Company Limited. The PMEX Acquisition of Naymat is being viewed as a strategic move that could reshape how agricultural commodities are traded, stored, and financed across the country. The deal, approved by PMEX’s Board of Directors and cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, officially makes Naymat Collateral Management Company Limited a subsidiary of PMEX. The development arrives at a critical time when Pakistan’s agriculture sector is under pressure to modernize trading practices, improve transparency, and reduce inefficiencies that have historically affected farmers, traders, and investors. Why PMEX Acquisition of Naymat Matters for Pakistan The PMEX Acquisition of Naymat is not just another corporate transaction. Industry observers believe it could become a turning point for Pakistan’s agricultural economy. Naymat specializes in warehousing and collateral management services. These services play a vital role in commodity markets because they ensure agricultural products are safely stored, properly documented, and backed by verified delivery systems. This infrastructure becomes even more important when futures trading enters the market. With PMEX now controlling Naymat, the Exchange is positioning itself to introduce physically deliverable agricultural commodity futures in Pakistan. This means buyers and sellers will eventually be able to trade contracts linked to actual physical commodities instead of purely speculative paper contracts. PMEX Eyes Modern Agricultural Trading System PMEX has already listed several major agricultural commodities including wheat, rice, sugar, and maize. The Exchange aims to create a more organized marketplace where commodity prices are transparent and trading remains regulated under SECP oversight. Experts believe this system could reduce market manipulation and improve confidence among stakeholders. For years, Pakistan’s agricultural supply chain has struggled with fragmented storage systems, pricing uncertainty, and informal trading networks. Farmers often face losses because of weak storage facilities and inconsistent market access. The PMEX Acquisition of Naymat could help solve these long-standing issues by connecting warehousing systems directly with regulated commodity trading platforms. Khurram Zafar Calls Acquisition a Strategic Milestone Speaking on the development, PMEX CEO Khurram Zafar described the acquisition as a major step toward building the infrastructure required for physically deliverable commodity markets in Pakistan. According to him, the move will support the creation of a secure, transparent, and efficient ecosystem for all participants in the agricultural value chain. His remarks highlight PMEX’s broader ambition to transform Pakistan into a more structured commodity trading economy similar to regional and international commodity exchanges. How Farmers and Investors Could Benefit The PMEX Acquisition of Naymat may also create opportunities for farmers, traders, exporters, and financial institutions. Improved warehousing systems can help farmers preserve crop quality and reduce post-harvest losses. At the same time, collateral management systems may allow farmers and businesses to access financing against stored commodities. Investors could also benefit from a more transparent market with standardized pricing mechanisms. Analysts say physically deliverable futures markets generally increase trust because contracts are linked to actual products rather than speculative positions alone. This creates stronger price discovery and helps businesses plan future production and purchasing decisions more effectively. Pakistan’s Commodity Market Could Enter a New Growth Phase The PMEX Acquisition of Naymat reflects a broader push toward modernization in Pakistan’s financial and agricultural sectors. As global commodity markets become increasingly digitized and regulated, Pakistan appears to be preparing its own infrastructure to compete regionally. PMEX reiterated its commitment to promoting regulated commodity trading, broader market access, and transparent price discovery through advanced exchange infrastructure operating under SECP supervision. If implemented successfully, the acquisition could become one of the most important developments in Pakistan’s commodity trading sector in recent years, opening the door to a more sophisticated and globally competitive agricultural marketplace.

Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly becoming the preferred option because of their durability and superior performance. The transition toward lithium technology is already gaining momentum globally, and Treet Battery’s latest move suggests Pakistan’s local manufacturers are preparing for the same shift. Why This Launch Matters for Investors The launch of Lithion NeoPower is more than just a product introduction. It reflects Treet Battery’s broader strategy to diversify its business and enter high-growth technology segments. As competition intensifies in Pakistan’s battery industry, companies are increasingly focusing on innovation and clean energy solutions to maintain market relevance. Analysts believe the lithium-ion segment could become a key revenue driver for battery manufacturers in the coming years, particularly with the continued expansion of solar energy installations nationwide. Investors are also closely watching how local companies adapt to changing consumer preferences and emerging energy trends. Treet Battery’s move into lithium-ion technology may strengthen its position in the evolving energy storage market while opening new commercial opportunities across residential and industrial sectors. Pakistan’s Energy Crisis Creates Massive Opportunity Pakistan’s persistent electricity challenges have created enormous demand for alternative energy solutions. Businesses and homeowners alike are searching for dependable backup systems that can reduce reliance on the national grid. The introduction of Lithion NeoPower could help Treet Battery tap into this growing market at a critical time. Rising fuel costs, unstable electricity supply, and increasing awareness about renewable energy are accelerating demand for smarter battery technologies across the country. With lithium-ion batteries widely viewed as the future of energy storage, Treet Battery’s latest expansion may prove to be a defining moment for the company’s long-term growth strategy.
