Industry expects govt to lift ban on commercial vehicles

Under a second supplementary mini-budget for fiscal year 2019

KARACHI: The government of Pakistan has already proposed a second supplementary mini-budget for fiscal year 2019, under which it lifted the ban on purchase of up to 1,300cc cars by non-filers of tax returns. This decision will help the local industry grow and arrest the declining sales volumes. It voices hope that the government will also pay attention to the commercial vehicles and review its policy in the near future. Commercial vehicles are for customers who belong to the middle or lower middle class and due to restriction on their purchase, the production of many automobile manufacturing companies, including local and international, has slowed down. The sales volume has declined about 24%. JW Forland says it is one of the leading automobile brands in Pakistan that supports people of the country by providing them low-cost and highly efficient vehicles at economical prices and also creates massive carrier opportunities for the youth of Pakistan.
