Monthly decline is largely attributed to highway closures in Sindh


Karachi: Car sales in Pakistan plunged 5pc month-on-month in April 2025 but posted a modest 1pc increase compared to the corresponding month last year.
Statistics gleaned by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) show that a total of 10,596 passenger vehicles were sold during the month.
The monthly decline was largely attributed to highway closures in Sindh, which disrupted deliveries and affected sales momentum.

Among manufacturers, Sazgar Engineering (SAZEW) posted the steepest monthly decline at 42%, selling 549 units in April. However, the company’s cumulative sales rose 130% year-on-year to 8,576 units, bolstered by its Haval lineup.

Tractor sales fell 48% year-on-year in April to 1,602 units amid weaker farm economics. Meanwhile, truck and bus sales jumped 127% year-on-year and 13% month-on-month to 520 units, with 10-month figures rising 85% to 3,885 units.
