Toyota & Honda Stable Despite 4% Drop in Locally Produced Car Sales

The sales of locally produced cars reduced from 22,513 units in January 2019 compared to 23,562 units in the same month in 2018, dropping by 4%. The decline is attributed to the ban imposed on non-filers as well as the recent surge in prices. Most auto companies have increased their prices 4-6 times in during the past year.

According to the mini-budget tabled in January, the ban is no longer in place on low-tiered vehicles, however, an official notification is yet to surface in this regard.

On the other hand, month-on-month sales increased by 16%. Topline Securities official, Syed Daniyal Adil believes that the numbers for auto sales are better than earlier anticipations.

Honda Atlas
