The currency depreciation has taken its toll as PKR reached a record low against the US Dollar in the open market. Indus Motor Company (IMC) the assemblers of Toyota cars in Pakistan has announced its second price revision of the year. This comes hardly two weeks after the first price hike of the year was announced on the 12th of January 2023.
IMC has cited the volatile situation of the Pak Rupee against the US Dollar as the core reason behind the increase. According to the company it has adversely impacted the cost of production because of which the company is compelled to pass on the impact to the consumers. The latest price hike that ranges up to Rs 11.6 lac will be effective on all orders & bookings from 12th January 2023 & onward.
