Earlier today, China Power, a Chinese company, expressed interest in setting up an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Sindh.
As per a media report, a company delegation met with Sindh Minister for Information and Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon in Karachi. Memon welcomed the company’s interest and pledged the provincial government’s support for investors and industrialists.
Last year, another Chinese company established Pakistan’s first intra-city bus manufacturing company in Karachi, making buses cheaper. Since then, multiple companies have shown a desire to establish automobile manufacturing facilities in Pakistan.
