In partnership with Pakistani car group Mega Motors, Chinese car company BYD plans for up to 50% of vehicles purchased in Pakistan by 2030 to be electrified in some way, aligning with global goals. BYD intends to open an assembly plant in early 2026 and introduce vehicles for sale later this year. The spokesperson for BYD in Pakistan, Kamran Kamal, anticipates a significant shift toward new energy vehicles (NEVs) in the country.

While this goal seems ambitious given the current dominance of Japanese automakers in Pakistan, BYD is optimistic and is working on addressing infrastructure challenges, such as incentivizing the construction of charging stations. They are also collaborating with oil marketing companies to establish a network of 20 to 30 charging stations in the initial phases. Additionally, BYD plans to sell fully assembled vehicles in Pakistan, although they face higher import charges compared to locally assembled units.
