BYD has reached 10,000 vehicles on Pakistani roads, its local partner Mega Motor Company announced on September 25 in Karachi.
MMC described the achievement as Pakistan’s fastest expansion by a new-entrant New Energy Vehicle brand. The milestone comes ahead of local assembly.
The company attributed the growth to strong demand and increasing confidence in electrified transport. Pakistan’s NEV market remains at an early stage.
BYD expands Pakistan lineup to five models
BYD entered the market with the Atto 3 and Seal. Its portfolio now comprises five models.
The additions include the Atto 2, Sealion 7 and Shark 6. MMC described the Atto 2 as Pakistan’s top-selling EV. It identified the Shark 6 as the country’s first plug-in hybrid pickup.
The expanded range serves different vehicle segments and customer requirements. MMC said demand across those segments supported the 10,000-vehicle milestone.
The announcement did not provide a model-by-model sales breakdown.
MMC prepares dedicated NEV assembly plant
“The significance of 10,000 vehicles goes well beyond the number itself. It reflects the progress MMC has made in building the foundations for new energy mobility in Pakistan,” said Aly Khan, CEO of Mega Motor Company.
“From the outset, our focus has been on building for the long term, establishing the capabilities, infrastructure and market presence needed to support this transition at scale. We are pleased to have BYD as our partner and to have worked closely together at every step to bring this vision to life. As we move towards the next step in our journey, MMC is preparing to launch Pakistan’s first and largest NEV assembly facility, marking a new chapter in our commitment to the future of mobility in Pakistan.”
Reuters reported in July 2025 that construction near Karachi had begun that April. The planned initial capacity was 25,000 vehicles annually across two shifts.
That earlier plan envisaged imported parts alongside some locally manufactured non-electric components. MMC’s latest announcement did not give a firm production start date.
BYD signals further expansion in Pakistan
“Pakistan has quickly become an important market in BYD’s global journey, and the trust consumers have shown in our brand is particularly significant to us,” said Liu Xueliang. He is BYD’s vice president and general manager of its Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division.
“Every BYD owner who has chosen to embrace new energy technology reinforces our commitment to this market. We are working closely with MMC to ensure the right mix of products is available to Pakistani consumers at the right time, supporting a seamless customer experience throughout their new energy journey. We will continue bringing BYD’s world-class technology and innovation to Pakistan and expanding our presence in the market as consumer needs evolve.”
MMC says the upcoming facility will focus exclusively on NEVs. It describes the plant as Pakistan’s largest dedicated facility of its kind.
Local assembly would move the partnership beyond selling imported vehicles. The company presents that transition as its next major milestone.
