Sunday, October 04, 2015 - Islamabad—Germany has shown great interest in promotion of German automobile products in Pakistani market. Presently, Japanese companies dominate Pakistani automobile industry. However, there is a huge potential for more automobile companies in Pakistan. In this regard German Ambassador Ina Lepel, Saturday, held a detailed meeting with Federal Minister for Industries and Production Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi and deliberated on various options for promotion of German automobile companies’ share in Pakistani industry.

According to Ministry of Industries and Production, the Minister formally welcomed the ambassador who has been recently appointed in Islamabad and explained the role of the Ministry of Industries and Production in detail to the Ambassador and apprised her of how, through provincial decentralization, the provinces have significant control over their industries.

The automobile industry was also discussed in the meeting and the Ambassador discussed the promotion of German auto companies with the Minister. Industrial Parks were also a topic of discussion as the Minister explained how they are necessary to give companies incentives and tax relaxation for foreign companies who want to set up industries within Pakistan. The Minister said that industries for new technology can be set up anywhere in Pakistan and are not bound to industrial parks. The Minister also stressed how the Ministry of Industries and Production uses subsidies to make food products more affordable to the massed through the network of stores of The Utility Stores Corporation (USC) of Pakistan. The privatization of Pakistan Steel Mill (PSM) was also talked about and how it is essential for the corporation to get back on its feet. The Minister also informed of the role of the Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Taxila that produces products related to the energy sector, defense and railway.

The role of Chinese investment was also questioned by the Ambassador to which the Minister explained how the Chinese are looking into the revamping and upgradation of HMC and PSM. The Ambassador also asked the Minister about the Ministry’s role in skill development and entrepreneurship to which the Minister detailed the workings of Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), National Productivity Organization (NPO) and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA).

The Minister detailed how skill development was an important agenda on the Ministry’s priorities and it uses its organizations to help reduce unemployment and, give opportunities and vocational training to the people of Pakistan. Smeda plays its role by supplementing small and medium entrepreneurs and empowering them to grow through financial and administrative support.

Should have manufacturing here.
pakistan has huge tariffs there, even Suzukis in india cost less than Suzukis than in Pakistan. if Pakistan gives enough incentive and there is enough demand then they may be able to reach some agreement for local manufacturing and possible export of the vehicles .
 
.
Hopefully it will be fixed in the new auto policy.

Steel is Expensive and Precision Engineering is still not established hence expensive Parts getting Manufactured in Pakistan while Govt. Policy of 58% Deletion also discourage foreign companies to invest.

i think that private cars should be heavily taxed and the money from that tax should go into the construction of roads and public transport system by the government. but in pakistan car market is heavily tax but that money doesnt go into roads or public transport.

VW are liars and cheaters, now that they are being kicked out of the NA, they want to dump their pollutant junk in Pakistan? We should not allow them here or put strict regulations on what they sell and what they declare.
Hopefully VW will come to Pakistan:smitten:after it's implementation
