The auto industry is at its worst as the sales have dropped for every manufacturer, which has led them to close their plants for the time being.
The introduction of new auto manufacturers has not helped the industry, which was promised by the government. Despite given the ease to do business in Pakistan, the new entrants are also launching vehicles and bikes at competitive rates and not offering consumers any options.
It remains to be seen how things improve in the future, especially with government-imposed FED taxes also on the table.
Pakistan should consider other countries. Of course, safety measures has to improve.
