🚗 Big Changes for Pak Auto Sector! 🇵🇰 ​• Tariff Cuts: Overall import duties to drop below 6% by 2030. • EV Tax Clash: Ministry pushes for 1% GST to boost green tech, but IMF wants 18%. • Safety First: New Motor Vehicle Act coming June 2026 for strict safety standards.

Big News!!! All new J7 SHS units will now come with a protective sheet as a standard feature. According to sources, previously purchased units will soon be recalled to have this protective sheet installed. Well done Omoda Jaecoo Pakistan (NexGen Auto)

@AdeelAfzal06 Isn't good to sell those which are in losses as Iesco is the one which is more disciplined.

Pakistan has formally launched the privatisation process for FESCO, GEPCO and IESCO, offering local and foreign investors the opportunity to acquire between 51% and 100% ownership along with management control. Collectively serving over 14 million consumers, the three DISCOs represent a significant portion of the country’s industrial and urban power demand. The transaction is part of a broader energy sector reform agenda focused on reducing operational inefficiencies, improving service delivery, strengthening tariff structures and increasing private-sector participation. If executed effectively, the move could support lower transmission losses, improved recovery rates and a more commercially sustainable power distribution framework.

@ShabnamHusnain1 اسکے بعد غلیظ گالیاں پھر فون بند۔

ہیلو شبنم حسنین بات کررہی ہیں۔ جی ہاں۔ آپ کے بینک کی برانچ سے عمر بات کررہا ہوں آپکی بائیو میٹرک ویری فیکیشن کرنی ہے۔ جی وہ تو میں نے برانچ جا کر کروا دی تھی۔ نہیں بینک نے دوبارہ کروانی ہے ۔ آپ آنلائن بینکنگ کرتی ہیں ؟ جی ہاں۔ اچھا آپ اپنی ایپ سے یہ تصدیق کروا لیں

@AdeelAfzal06 Govt may increase GST on EVs in upcoming budget.

Going forward, key variables for HCAR will include: • Further monetary easing • Improvement in auto financing affordability • PKR stability • Sustainability of demand recovery However, intensifying competition from hybrids and new market entrants may continue to pressure margins despite improving industry volumes.

Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) reported 4QMY26 earnings of PKR 1.0bn (EPS: PKR 7.06), down 40% YoY despite a strong recovery in sales volumes and topline growth. The company also announced a final cash dividend of PKR 9/share.

@AliKhizar You previously indicated that prices for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are expected to decrease, and Hybrid vehicle prices are also projected to increase in the forthcoming budget.

With increase in petrol prices premium (on) on BEVs/REER cars going up Rs 700k on S05 Rs500k on Atto2 Rs300K on Atto3 Lucky is coming up with a few GAC's BEVs options soon Market is heating up

ہر بار گننے میں غلطی ہو جاتی ہے، آپ بتا سکتے ہیں یہ کتنے کینو ہیں!!!

@amarafarooqq @saleemspeaks2 It's ANEX

@Zw35 @saleemspeaks2 Can you recommend any specific brand and power options? I have an induction stove and it doesn't support all types of pans

کیا کسی نے 2200والٹ الیکٹرک چولہا استعمال کیا ہے کیا اس پہ کھانا وغیرہ پکایا جا سکتا ہے اور روٹیاں بھی پک جاتیں ہیں کیا؟ کچھ لوگ کہ رہے ہیں اس کے اپنے برتن ہوتے ہیں پھر جاکر کھانا پکے گا اور کچھ کہ رہے ہیں کہ اس کی پلیٹ جلد ٹوٹ جاتی ہے ۔۔ کیا یہ سولر پر چل سکتا ہے ؟ اگر کوی دوست اسے استعمال کر رہا تو براے مہربانی ریوز دے دیں ۔۔ اس مہنگی گیس بجلی کا یہی بہترین حل ہے ۔۔

@saleemspeaks2 It's ANEX

@saleemspeaks2 It's an infrared stove, its universal cookware compatibility. Unlike induction stoves, which require magnetic-based pots I'm using this(different brand) for almost 2 years, Alhamdolillah so far so good.

@yasu_adv @saleemspeaks2 I recommend infrared technology due to its compatibility with a wide range of cookware.

@Zw35 @saleemspeaks2 So buying recommendation is for infrared not induction stove?

@saleemspeaks2 Jazak'Allah khair, pls feel free to ask anything, being a solar user my max reliance is on electric appliances.

@Zw35 بہت شکریہ زبیر بھای ۔۔

@AliKhizar "There's many a slip between the cup and the lip"

As per the first draft of auto policy (2026-31), based on proposed changes in taxes and duties, locally assembled - PHEVs prices to decline by around 16% REEVs/BEVs prices to increase by 5-8%, with effect from 1st July 2026.

@soulat_pasha جتنا آپ نے سالے/سالی کو پروموٹ کیا ہے اتنا کسی نے نہیں کیا۔

ایک 75سالہ پاکستانی بزرگ خاتون نے نیویارک سے پینسلوینیا جانے والی فلائٹ میں جانے سے اس لیئے انکا کردیا کہ اس جہاز کو حادثہ پیش آ جائے گا. پرواز کے کچھ لمحے بعد ایسا ہی ہوا تو نیویارک ٹائمز کا اک رپورٹر مائی سے انٹرویو لیتے ہوئے پوچھنے لگا کہ ہمارے پاس جدید ٹیکنالوجی ہونے کے باوجود بھی طیارے کو حادثہ پیش آگیا اور ایئرپورٹ انتظامیہ نے بھی طیارہ چیک کرنےکے بعد ہی اڑان کی اجازت دی، آپ کے پاس ایسی کونسی ٹیکنالوجی ہے جو آپ کو حادثے کا پہلے سے ہی پتہ چل گیا۔؟ خاتون:: کچھ نئیں پتر بس سویر دی ای میری کھبی اکھ پھڑکی جا رئی سی. رپورٹر ابھی تک کومے میں ہے۔۔۔ سالا۔۔۔

@zaighamkhan @VaquasAlvi_ Sir there's no Cofee feel, for a pure kick shouldn't compromise on Quality.

@Zw35 @VaquasAlvi_ Exactly, that's what I feel. Too smooth for me, I think I will go back to Nestle. Suits tea drinkers more.

Pakistan's first instant coffee brand perhaps- bought and tried this morning. Packing and name hints that it intends to snatch some share from most popular coffee brand in Pakistan - Nestlé Nescafé Classic. It is 107 percent cheaper: Nestle Classic 2200 for 100 gram packing, Imtiaz 1800 from 170 gram. Taste is lighter and sweeter compared to Nestle classic but in no way bad. This may be deliberate, aiming at tea drinking taste of Pakistanis who don't appreciate bitterness. Freshness may be another plus as Nescafe Classic is imported and may take months or years to reach the shelf after getting roasted. Good to see another local brand getting ready to compete with a giant. (Note: bought it from a local grocery shop, not from an Imtiaz Store)

@VaquasAlvi_ @zaighamkhan Nescafe: Bold, sharp,Aromatic and acidic. The global benchmark for a strong caffeine kick. ​Imtiaz: Smooth, earthy,DOODH PATTI FEEL ,easier on the pocket. ​Go Nescafe for the signature punch, or Imtiaz for a budget-friendly daily brew.

This is a private label, branded by Imtiaz (Supermarket). Globally, most supermarkets have their own labels (TESCO, Target etc.) At times, grocers use big supermarkets as wholesalers and get products available in their shops; specially if they are cheap knock offs. The price point and a replica packaging suggest targeting value for money segment. Nescafé won’t be dented because the taste parity is no match.

@awaisReporter I shared in morning

پاکستانی مارکیٹ میں جاپانی امپورٹیڈ گاڑی Toyota Raize بہت کامیاب رہی، اس کے بعد Kia Stonic بھی اچھی آپشن تھی مگر اب ان دونوں گاڑیوں کو ٹکر دینے کے لیے سوزوکی نے Fronx لانچ کر دی ہے۔ اس سیگمنٹ میں ہائبرڈ گاڑی کے حساب سے قیمت بھی مناسب ہے۔ آپ کی کیا رائے ہے؟

The Suzuki Fronx launch hinges on pricing. 🚗 ​Rumors of Rs. 5.9M–7.0M are risky when the Jaecoo J5 HEV sits in the same bracket with more tech, a hybrid engine, and a larger footprint. ​Suzuki has the legacy, but can it beat the J5's value? Pricing will make or break it. 📉

@koolkopper Japanese vehicles are known for their reliability.

Pakistan’s car market is no longer a one-sided game. For decades, Japanese brands dominated everything from hatchbacks to sedans, building a reputation around reliability, resale value, and fuel efficiency. But now, Chinese cars are changing the conversation. Walk into any showroom today or scroll through trending searches, and you’ll notice something interesting. Buyers are no longer just asking about resale or mileage. They are asking about sunroofs, hybrid systems, ADAS safety, infotainment screens, and electric vehicles. Chinese are now in the competition big time. Looks like what Japanese cars did to American, British and German cars in the 60s is now being repeated by the Chinese cars.
