Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistani government has launched a registration drive for importers eyeing the commercial import of used vehicles up to five years old, a move aimed at regulating the sector and easing access to affordable cars for local buyers. This initiative comes amid efforts to revitalize the automotive market, where demand for cost-effective second-hand vehicles remains high due to economic pressures and limited new car affordability in Pakistan. Importers can now step up through official channels, potentially injecting fresh supply into the market and supporting related industries like spare parts and services.
