 Prices of different vehicles being brought down in Pakistan: minister

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Industries and Production Khusro Bakhtiar on Wednesday said the prices of different vehicles were being reduced in the country as a result of tax relief announced by the government for the auto sector.

He said this while addressing a news conference in Islamabad. He was flanked by Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain.

The minister for industries and production said that the notification regarding reduction in the prices of vehicles would be issued in a couple of days, by the weekend.

He said prices of small vehicles would be cut up to 0.1 million rupees, while down payment for purchasing the first vehicle has been reduced by 20 percent of the total cost.

“When vehicles’ prices are reduced, it boosts their production. The process of lease of vehicles would be made easy. Whoever will buy a vehicle he would have to get it registered on his name,” he said.
