  "summary": "Hybrid vehicle prices in Pakistan have been reduced after a two-week delay due to a decrease in the general sales tax (GST) on vehicles up to 2,000cc, from 25% to 18% effective September 13. Mega Motor Company (MMC), BYD's official partner in Pakistan, announced that BYD has reached a milestone of 10,000 vehicles on Pakistani roads, marking the fastest ramp-up by a new-entrant New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brand in the country's automotive history. Honda Atlas Cars Ltd (HACL) has revised the prices of the HR-V e: HEV and HR-V VTIS to Rs9.299 million and Rs7.299m, respectively, for a limited time and on limited stock. The reduction in GST is expected to revive sales, as consumers had delayed their purchases waiting for the government's decision.",
