Pakistan’s automotive industry ended fiscal year 2025-26 on a high note after passenger car and light commercial vehicle sales rose 28.9 percent month on month in June, according to the latest figures released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
Total sales reached 21,983 units in June, compared with 17,033 units in May. The strong growth reflects improving consumer confidence, easing inflation, a more stable exchange rate and better vehicle availability after months of supply chain disruptions.
Industry analysts also linked the strong performance to lower financing costs, recovering economic activity and steady demand across both entry-level cars and premium SUVs.
