hmmm...it sounds like these guys are asking for cutting the tax on imported CKDs. Basically, their understanding of 'manufacturing' is actually assembling, which is just a continuation of what we're already doing.
It's clear now that the foreign OEMs either don't want to transfer technology to Pakistan, or our industry is too risk adverse, or our regulators aren't cutthroat enough.
In any case, the right approach would be to (as with all things these days) is to set-up a joint-venture with Turkish and/or Chinese companies to develop critical inputs for our own EV brands.
We set-up domestic OEMs for EVs, and then export our own EVs to other markets. That's the way forward IMO.
This is the only way. A public-private venture can disrupt the auto industry in Pakistan and boost Pakistan’s industrial capacity.
