two options;

1- the AH-1Zulu - may be available by 2014 (if US/Pak relations dont deteriorate anyfurther) to replace the AH-1S/F models.
2- the WZ-10 med. attack helo from china (however in performance it remains inferior to the AH-64 Apache)

WZ-10 comparable with ?

Sir why not to go for Russian Stuff Mi-28, KA-50/52. Russian Mi-28 is an ugly helo for sure, but it is quite comparable to Apache and Ka-50/52 are superior to Apache and unit cost is less. if Indian going for Apache then we should go for Russian.

Sir, PA has acquired new Mi-8/17 from Russia also getting Rd-93 via China. Don't you think we should request them to open Arm sale to Pakistan. it is a golden chance, India seems nowhere near to these attack choppers. A deal for an Advance payment will always be welcomed for 20-30 Choppers. PA must have that much amount reserved for crucial time.
Sir just look at this thing

With Turkey getting comprehensive ToT, it is a much better option.

Mi-17-1V

Delivered; 38
Current; 34
Lost; 4

- Note: As many as 32 Mi-17-1V models are reported to have been acquired in a large batch delivered between 2002 & 2008. A further 6 Mi-17 (Mi-8MTV-1) helicopters have been leased from the US Department of Defense for use in ongoing anti-Taliban operations in the Swat Valley, having been delivered in late June 2009. It is believed that at least 5 of these helicopters were then passed-on to Afghanistan as "spares sources" for the ANAAF's flyable Hip fleet. A batch of 12 Mi-17s was overhauled & refurbished with US funding in 2009, with another 12 to follow suit in 2010 & the remaining 10 at a later date. The most recent attrition losses have been on 5th August 2004 & 3rd July 2009, the latter resulting in 26 fatalities. Another loss occurred on 24th October 2009, during fighting in the Bajaur tribal region, causing 3 fatalities aboard the helicopter.

- Located at 21 Army Aviation Squadron, 25 Army Aviation Squadron, 27 Army Aviation Squadron, 4 Army Aviation Squadron, 5 Army Aviation Squadron, Detachment, Detachment, Detachment, Inter-Service Intelligence Department
