Pak Suzuki Motor Company’s (PSMC) sales have hit rock bottom for the second time this year due to insufficient inventory and import restrictions.
As per the latest update from the oft-reliable autojournal, Pak Suzuki sold fewer than 1,000 units in February. This is the automaker’s worst performance yet since countrywide COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2020, which saw production and sales reach zero.
The report cites intermittent production shutdowns and the unavailability of completely knocked down (CKD) kits as the reason for the decline. The automakers have also blamed the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) reluctance to approve letters of credit (LCs) for the clearance of imported goods.
In January, Pak Suzuki sold 2,940 cars, observing a massive decline of 74% in monthly sales. The huge decline was due to the poor sales of Suzuki Alto, which went from 6,898 units in December 2022 to just 44 units in January 2023.
In February’s data, the sales of all units will likely be in the high tens or low hundreds. We will know that for sure once official figures from Pakistan Automotive Manufacturer Association (PAMA) arrive.

Japanese and now even Chinese companies are here to loot Ordinary Pakistanis. In India these companies have setup research centers but in Pakistan they are here to sell only.
Suzuki has not been able to produce a single engine or setup a single research center in Pakistan and got all types of benefits for more than 30 years. Who will question them?. Anyway our government is sleeping and automakers can do whatever they want to.
Suzuki sales reached all time low not due to Production issues but price issues.
I agree with Adler.
Agree bro
Indeed the main issue is due to the rapid increase in price.
No no no. Sales dropped because of price. You see not everyone is stupid enough to pay that much for a shitty car Alto. People can buy other cars now.
Suzuki Raised prices at “andha dhund” pace that is why public kept away
They deserve for it
Due to high price
Not production issues..jub 8 lac wali gadi 27 lac ki maly gae tuo lay ga Kon..
8 lac ki Washing Machine 28 lac ki do ga to sales drop hi hona ha.
Would somebody ask them about their deletion program. When would they produce this “teen -dubba with indigenous materials fully.
They have created artificial supply issues just to sale the teen dabba at high price
U can buy a used Corolla Altis at the price of new suzuki swift which is a far better option
Long view uniform
They deserved it. I think it’s time for us to awaken from deep sleep.
We can manufacture atomic bomb but not a shitty car like suzuki daba. If this piece of crap is taken to the European market, it won’t pass the safety test. Pakistan’s auto mafia along with ministry of industries should be thrown into Pindi’s sewage Nala Laye

Prices are very high, that is why sales drop. Low quality cars with very high prices does not work well with customers
Very Right. Shukr hy Awam ko hosh tu aya
