Pakistan witnessed a staggering 4,642 percent surge in used vehicle imports following amendments to import regulations, with 2,276 used cars entering the nation in September 2026, up from a mere 48 vehicles in May, according to government sources speaking to ProPakistani. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened a meeting on Wednesday to assess the surge in used vehicle imports through commercial and gift schemes, reviewing the impact on the local automobile sector.
Sources indicated that provisions concerning used vehicle imports would be incorporated into the forthcoming Auto Policy. Local automobile manufacturers expressed apprehension that a persistent uptick in used vehicle imports could erode the market presence of domestically assembled vehicles. Importers, however, argued that enhanced availability of used cars would intensify competition, offering consumers a broader range of choices.
The government is anticipated to weigh both perspectives as it finalizes import rules under the new Auto Policy.
