It is indeed a very encouraging development for not only automobile consumers but also for people of this industry. When the New Auto policy was about to be announced, it was tipped off that European manufacturers are keen to open their assembly and sales units here; that idea now seems to be turning into reality.
According to the signed MoU, Audi will study economic, legal and the logistic feasibility for establishing an assembly unit in Sindh. The company will also look into federal trade policies; Premier Systems will be its authorized importer in Pakistan.
At the moment, Pak auto industry is captured by Japanese automobile makers and now with the addition of high-quality brands like Audi, it will become much more competitive especially for local auto makers.
The government of Pakistan always wanted to bring in foreign, especially European car manufacturers in the country and now we can expect that with increased competition, local cars’ prices are likely to go down a notch.
