Al-Haj Proton Shares Exciting News About Car Deliveries

Al-Haj Proton Shares Exciting News About Car Deliveries

August 31, 2021 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Following a decrease in the COVID-19 infection rate in Malaysia, Proton’s production and sales activities have been restarted. As a result of this event, Al-Haj Proton has stated on its social media account that it is working hard to guarantee that automobiles are delivered to clients as soon as possible.


According to the official notification, the company’s restart of operations would allow it to not only assure ease in the importation of CBUs, but also to delve into local assembly of its cars.
The business has indicated on many occasions that their assembly facility in Pakistan is nearing completion, however CKD activities were halted due to challenges in international shipment during the current Coronavirus outbreak in Central and South Asia.
Now appears to be the ideal moment for Al-Haj Proton to focus on establishing a significant market presence, since the business is going to face stiff competition from BAIC, which has recently entered the Pakistani automobile market.

On August 27, Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL) submitted an official notification to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) indicating that “commercial manufacturing of the BAIC cars would begin with effect from September 1, 2021, following a successful conclusion of the trial operation.”

The video, on the other hand, implies that the business has already started producing its automobiles.

For fans, vehicle purchasers, and experts, SEWL’s silence on BAIC’s formal debut in Pakistan had been cause for alarm, but BAIC may have chosen a wise approach to the local auto industry’s persisting issues.

Several new manufacturers, including MG JW, Al-Haj Proton, Prince DFSK, and Master Changan Motors, have been chastised by automobile customers owing to repeated delays in vehicle delivery, which is a problem that the automakers are attempting to resolve.

The majority of the delays have been caused by obstacles in the overseas shipment of Completely Built-Up (CBU) units that these manufacturers have advertised for Pakistan.
BAIC has clearly made a deliberate choice by starting manufacturing of the cars before the official launch, which will undoubtedly allow it to have a big market effect by keeping up with increasing demand better than its competitors.

Changan Pakistan has hiked the price of their cars by Rs120,000.

August 26, 2021 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Changan Pakistan has hiked rates throughout its whole portfolio by Rs120,000, just a month after lowering prices. The company cited rising freight and delivery costs as the reason for the rise.

After announcing the Alsvin sedan’s debut price in January, the Chinese automaker raised the price of its two automatic models by up to Rs101,000 barely two months later in March.

Changan was one of the last automakers to lower automobile prices in July, following the government’s announcement of different incentives. The new policies were designed to relieve the load on the general public, stimulate vehicle sales, and encourage local businesses. Reduced sales tax and extra customs charge were among the numerous incentives given.

The firm told its authorised dealerships on Tuesday that all of its vehicles will be sold at reduced rates, according to a circular published on Tuesday. The Covid-19 has resulted in increased freight charges and total shipment costs, according to the report.

Similarly, the price of the Alsvin 1.3 DCT has increased to Rs2,519,000 from Rs2,399,000 previously. Alsvin Lumiere 1.5 DCT is now priced at Rs2,709,000, up from Rs2,589,000 before. Karvaan and Karvaan plus would now cost Rs1,519,000 and Rs1,659,000, respectively, after a Rs120,000 price increase.
Similarly, the Changan M9’s price has increased from Rs1.234,000 to Rs1,354,000.

Ateeq Ur Rehman, an economic and financial analyst, has claimed that freight rates by road, air, and sea are becoming more expensive with each passing day, emphasizing that competition is raising the cost of doing business for both importers and exporters.

Auto Policy has finally been revealed by the federal government. Khusro Bakhtiar, the Federal Minister for Industries and Production, spoke during a news conference on the new strategy.

We’ve been hearing a lot of stories and speculations concerning automobile price increases in Pakistan. Despite repeated warnings, the situation for automobile users in the country remained uncertain. The wait, however, is now over. Pakistan’s new Auto Policy 2021-2026 has been announced by the government. According to the information given, there is undoubtedly good news for automobile aficionados. Furthermore, the new Auto Policy is good news for automobile buyers in the lower middle and middle classes. Let’s go straight into the specifics!

The long-awaited decision has finally arrived. Vehicle costs have been decreased as a result of the new Auto Policy. Vehicles with engines up to 850cc would have their costs reduced to as low as PKR 105,000 under the new policy. When it comes to 1000cc vehicles, costs might drop as low as PKR 146,000. Furthermore, if we look at the Toyota Yaris and Honda City in particular, the costs will drop by up to PKR 125,000.

Here is the Auto Policy for the Years 2021-2026.

The Good News is that after 850cc, 1000cc cars are becoming more affordable as well.

June 27, 2021 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


The federal government made vehicles with engines up to 850cc cheaper earlier this month by eliminating the Federal Excise Duty (FED) and lowering the Sales Tax to 12.5 percent from 17 percent. Everyone was ecstatic when they heard the news. Despite this, many people preferred to hear the phrase 1000cc instead than 850cc.

So, what’s this? The government has complied with our request. Shaukat Tarin, the Finance Minister, has announced the continuation of tax exemption for automobiles up to 1000cc, making all domestically built 1000cc cars cheaper.

What Will be the impact these Cars are Getting Cheaper

Because the middle class can only afford automobiles up to 1000cc, this tax relief will undoubtedly have a big influence on the local automotive market. The government has lowered automobile costs in a budget for the first time in Pakistan’s history.

Consumer purchasing power will rise as a result of the effort, as will automobile sales in the country. The government, on the other hand, has not proposed any tax relief for imported automobiles, indicating that it is focused on the domestic auto sector and encouraging people to buy local vehicles.

What are your thoughts on this news? On a scale of one to ten, how pleased are you with this big tax cut? Let us know what you think in the comments area.

When Will Automobiles Become More Affordable to Consumers?

Okay, so the government has enacted the Fiscal Budget 2021-22, which includes lower taxes on automobiles with engines under 1000cc. But the real question is when prices will start to fall. And the response is July 1st, 2021.

The budget has been considered and approved by the government in the National Assembly. It will be deployed in the beginning of next month. From July 1st onwards, the revised pricing will be in effect.

In the meanwhile, customers who get automobiles this month will be charged the existing price. If the invoice for the car has been issued, the buyer must pay the current price. There’s no getting around it.
