Pakistan’s car marketplace published a strong increase in May 2025, with overall vehicle income clocking in at 14,762 units—up 35% year-on-year (YoY) and 39% month-on-month (MoM), consistent with information from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
This lifted the 11-month (Jul-May) cumulative automobile income to 126,226 units, a 39% growth from the equal period remaining year.
The increase was driven by improved macroeconomic situations, together with lower interest rates, easing inflation, and better client sentiment.
Car earnings also experienced a recovery from April’s lackluster figures, which were impacted by road closures and shipment delays due to strikes and law enforcement issues in Sindh.

Automobiles and their sales
Among automotive manufacturers, Indus Motor Company (INDU) exhibited the most robust overall results, achieving a 2.4x YoY and 48% MoM increase to 4,829 units in May, the highest monthly sales in almost 3 years, driven by demand for the Corolla, Yaris, and Move models.
Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) also experienced a 69% YoY and 17% MoM growth, delivering 2.5 units. Pak Suzuki Motor Corporation (PSMC), the market leader, faced an 8% YoY decline but gained 38% MoM to reach 5,519 units. Hyundai Nishat observed a 58% YoY and 45% MoM increase.
Sazgar Engineering Works (SAZEW) recorded the largest month-over-month surge of 67%, rising to 919 units, aided by the recent launch of a new HAVAL variant in April. Its 11MFY25 sales soared 111% YoY to 9,495 units, and three-wheeler sales also jumped to 150,175 units in May 2025—up 26% YoY and 11% MoM—setting a 3-year record. For 11MFY25, sales reached 1.38 million units, a 30% improvement over last year. Atlas Honda led with 130,240 units in May.
In the commercial section, truck and bus income rose 147% YoY and 17% MoM to 610 units, taking 11MFY25 volumes to 4,495 devices—a 92% rise from 2,345 devices last year.
Tractor sales, though, saw a mixed fashion. General sales in May were 2,184 units, up 29% YoY, but Millat Tractors posted a 34% drop to 1,569 units because of weak farm economics. AGTL sold 615 units, up from 743 in April.
