Pak Suzuki enjoys unchallenged dominance in small car segment which enables the automaker to enjoy a thumping 66% share of Pakistan’s automobile market. As per sources, the company is ramping up production to meet the rising demand which is expected to remain high in forthcoming months following a reduction in prices after the government reduced various duties & taxes in the recently announced Auto Policy 2021-26. Additionally, booking of cars under Roshan Apni Car for overseas Pakistanis having Roshan Digital Account (RDA), has also played its part in the increase in sales of locally assembled vehicles.
