گفٹ اسکیم کے تحت استعمال شدہ گاڑیوں کی درآمد میں اضافہ، مقامی آٹو صنعت پریشان

Pakistan's auto industry is expressing alarm over a significant surge in used car imports via the Gift Scheme, with numbers escalating from just 7 units in May to 2238 by September 2026. This drastic increase, which saw 98% of total used-vehicle imports in September attributed to the scheme, is causing billions in losses for local manufacturers and part suppliers already facing declining sales. Industry leaders warn of blatant misuse of the scheme, urging government intervention to protect the domestic sector. While not a direct market mover, sustained import pressures could subtly impact Pakistan's trade balance and the PKR's stability over time.
