426.76 USDI tried to translate it but I failed. Do you know how much that equals in US dollars?
haier, dawlance, pel etc are also assembling here, but nothing good is coming out of it. there are a lot of companies already, but like the automotive cartel, everyone has created cartels, this is the reason for similar prices. also, exorbitant duties and taxes by the govt, and expensive electricity, all of this points to the inability of the govt to nurture growth, this is incompetence of the highest order. ab IK kahin iska b notice naa lay bas.Well the logical answer to your question is
1) India most of the brands have local manufacturing/assembly plants in India as compared to imports on our side.
2) The cost of manufacturing in India is less than Pakistan. (Electricity/transportation).
3) The huge local market plays an important part as increasing the volume of product decreases unit cost.
4) There are many local quality companies so competition is high and profit margins are reduced.
5) Companies usually compete for market share instead of forming a mafia to manipulate prices.
Because most of the appliances in Pakistan are based on assembly of imported kits and hence alot of profit get transferred outside Pakistan. Plus this will result in custom duties.Was just looking at Indian amazon and every home appliance/electronic is at least half of price compared to Pakistan. Why is that? From front load washing machines to inverter AC. etc Not to forget cars.
Pakistanis have to earn at least twice as much as Indians just to afford basic home appliances. Yes petrol is cheaper but everything else which is needed for better life is more then twice as expensive. And its not about higher taxes as India tax to GDP ratio is also almost twice that of Pakistan.
Not too bad. Average starting price in US $400. Idk about quality in Pakistan.426.76 USD

Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing. Not much more than starting prices in USA.
Not sure about quality though.
u.s public earn more than average Pakistanis so we should consider this while comparing prices
Labour, transportation, insurances, laws and liabilities are cheap or non existent in Pakistan. I doubt there is govt mandated energy star rating. So if you think about it. $426 isn’t cheap.Thank you!

To be honest unless you generate cheaper electricity you can not provide cheap electricity. Thanks to the imported fuel and exorbant IPP contracts. Actually your 2nd point contradicts your first, duties protect and help nurture local manufacturing. This policy in the past has destroyed our local industries, markets were flooded with cheap imported Chinese brands, helped by artificially over valued rupee. India didn't accomplish this in a couple of years, it took them a decade to reach this position where they are now.haier, dawlance, pel etc are also assembling here, but nothing good is coming out of it. there are a lot of companies already, but like the automotive cartel, everyone has created cartels, this is the reason for similar prices. also, exorbitant duties and taxes by the govt, and expensive electricity, all of this points to the inability of the govt to nurture growth, this is incompetence of the highest order. ab IK kahin iska b notice naa lay bas.

Not just home appliances, cars too. They get better car varients, latest design models with better equiped saftey features. We get overpriced tins.
