Congrats: Zero Auto Sales for Monoply of Corolla, Suzuki & Honda in Pakistan

TEVTA = Technical Education and vocational trainings .

That is just a small part of what spending on education means. Do you want labor or innovators?

TEVTA = Technical Education and vocational trainings .

You know this calls for out of the box thinking. Our major remittance comes form GCC with 5m+ Pakistanis contributing to a majority of it.

What we should be doing is, setting up more Technical / Vocational schools, either sponsored, or independently, to increase our export of man power, From low skill, to highly skilled.

Another aspect we ignore is our education sector. Just look at any big corp in Pakistan, who would they prefer hiring, an Inter pass or an A-level pass? Why is our education system stuck in the 19th century?

No need to feel sorry for car manufacturers In the same month of April and May Toyota Increased prices by upto 6 lacks using dollar excuse, quite unjustified as they had already increased prices by 50% in 2019 after devaluation to Rs 168. Now dollar goes back to 167 from 155 and they make huge price increases again even though rs 168 was factored in 2019. Similarly another car mafia Honda raised prices now and will charge Pakistanis more on those old Hondas.

They are all big criminal mafias, suzuki, toyotta and Honda because they know consumers have no choice and government does nothing about their ' price fixing'.

In a normal world, if sales fall manufacturers reduce prices, sacrifice their margins temporarily to get things going. Not here.

Zero car sales in April
AAMIR SHAFAAT KHAN

KARACHI/Lahore: Barring tractors, April proved to be one of the worst months for the entire auto sector as car production and sales were reduced to zero.

The overall car production and sales during 10MFY20 plunged by 52 per cent year-on-year each to 88,628 and 86,330 units.

Meanwhile, there was no production of heavy vehicles (trucks and buses) in April but data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (Pama) mentioned negligible sales of some assemblers.

Some manufacturers also posted marginal sales in light commercial vehicles, pickups and jeeps during April despite nil production.

In the two/three-wheeler segment, only Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) registered sales of 2,783 units during the month even though there was no production. All other manufacturers neither assembled nor sold any units.

An official from Pama said that “I have never witnessed zero production and sales in auto history for an entire month and the situation looks the same for May, which is alarming for the auto sector.”

The government had suspended production and trading activities under lockdown from the third week of March to contain coronavirus.

Output and sales of the auto are still discontinued in May while other sectors have started opening up after the introduction of standard operating procedures (SoPs) and safety measures.

In trucks, only Hino and Isuzu posted sales of 14 units and 22 units amid plant shut down in April. The cumulative production and volumes in 10MFY20 shrank by 49.6pc and 46pc to 2,732 and 2,769.

Under the bus category, only Isuzu recorded sales in April, of just three units, amid zero production while other players did not operate and sell anything. As a result, output and volume of buses declined by 37pc and 31pc to 462 and 536 units in July-April.

In LCVs, pickups and jeeps, plants of all the manufacturers remained closed in April while Jac, D-Max and Hyundai Porter sold six, 11 and 22 units in April. Total production and sales of pickups plunged by 49pc and 52pc to 11,008 and 10,212 units in 10MFY20.

Total output and volume of jeeps stood at 3,290 and 3,140 units, down by 48.5pc and 51pc in the 10-month period whereas no activity was recorded in April.

Despite allowing tractor manufacturing in mid-April for the wheat harvesting season, total production and sales of Fiat and Massey Ferguson remained dismal.

Fiat produced and sold 9,306 and 9,762 units in July-April FY20, down by 40pc and 38pc while Massey Ferguson’s corresponding figures were lower by 43pc and 42pc to 15,581 units and 15,617 units, respectively.

Overall production and sales of two/three-wheelers fell 20pc to 1.187m units and 1.183m units in the last 10 months of the fiscal year.

With no production and sales, Indus Motor Company and Honda Atlas Cars Ltd (HACL) have already raised prices by Rs110,000-500,000 and Rs 60,000-120,000, respectively on account of the rupee devaluation.

Pama on May 8 had urged Industries Minister Hammad Azhar and Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah to allow the opening of auto assembling plants under given SoPs as closures are resulting in massive production losses and depriving the government from the revenue.

Do take into account that there was a lockdown during this period which alwo effected the sales.. aswell as massive price increases which the govt is impotent to stop or at worst complicit (as they get taxes based on the prices).

why buy at all

Because people have no choice. Now even importer cars have been banned... the choices for a low income/middle class family are down to nothing but a used mehran.. and even those are sellin for nearly a million bucks.

this government or anything before it is actually punishing people
give them no choice but to use shit.

competition brings more jobs and shine the talent

The more the prices, the more tax govt collects.. win win for companies and govt..

 

[ali_raza]

and why not make it other way.like all over the world
finish taxes on imports of cars
tax on car renewals and insurence
make laws and implement it
san francisco collection of tickets alone is in billions every year which is re invested in roads and infrastructure
but car prices r low.
if one can use brain this is the way to bring more people to tax and more people using oil means more revenue
taxes should be taken in a manner people doesn’t even feel they r paying
that’s wht everyone does
here in oman we pay thousands of ryals a year on automobile insurance and government fees and fines.
which is in millions in pkr.
added benefit is us country looks better too with quality things

After WW2 Germany didnt send there people to higher education they made them do TEVTA and see where Germany skilled labour and products are

So true but TEVTA based students cant be groom over night and it takes time .With current PIE distribution and priorities forget about the above concept .till the time we stop spending on non development budgets we will end up the same

These are three companies hence it cannot be a monopoly. Technically it would be an “Oligopoly”. Car sales are down worldwide; in UK new car sales dropped 97% in April!

When foreign companies invest in Pakistan with or without a local partner, it is a good thing. Zero car sales indicate a massive decline in the country’s productivity and could result in many Pakistanis losing their job. What is there to congratulate about???

Credit goes to Iran Khan.

Car sales are zero for all car producing companies, even local companies. I haven't read all posts, but if no one is telling this fact than it's half of the information.
New investors are being forced to flee, while those who have already invested are going to leave with losses. Reminds me of how Zardari raped investors pulled in by P.Musharraf.

That is just a small part of what spending on education means. Do you want labor or innovators?

state education is almost totally missing, all the little spending what ever it is, most of it is used basically paying salaries of PTI tiger types.
This country is ruled and run by thieves and liars.

Any news on Proton car assembly in Pakistan?

To whom are they going to sell besides politicians and kith kins of politicians?
Previously Pakistan had a large middle class, today living below poverty line.
I know professionals, who were earning million+ p/a in Pakistan only until an year ago, as well paying taxes on their salaries, today are asking friends employed in GCC for food money.
Hundreds of charities have poped up in Pakistan, who are linked with expat Pakistanis or their families, which are helping people of Pakistan go through, perhaps the longest yet confused lock down.

It's a monopoly. They don't really compete with one another. Each has their own niche. Toyota here will never sell cheap hatchbacks. Because that's Suzukis domain. Vice versa
