The French automaker partnered with Al-Futtaim Group of UAE was in process of making an entry in Pakistan. Granted with Greenfield investment status under the Auto Policy 2016-21, Renault’s $230 million investment plan was the biggest among all new comers. Al-Futtaim had also acquired 54 acres of land to set up an assembly plant in the Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (FIEDMC), the largest industrial zone in the country. The plant was supposed to have an installed capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year and the company had indicated to roll out 5 vehicle models during the initial stages of operations. However in 2019, Renault cancelled its plans of making an entry in Pakistan citing weakening economic situation of the country. Although the government was negotiating with Renault to rollback its decision, it wasn’t able to convince the French automaker to continue with its investment plans.
