Indus Motor Company has increased its investment in localizing auto parts to Rs. 5.1 billion after approving an additional Rs. 1 billion, as the automaker moves to reduce reliance on imports and strengthen local manufacturing.
In a disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the company said its board approved the fresh investment on April 24, adding to the previously announced Rs. 4.1 billion plan to localize parts and components used in existing vehicle models.
The company said the localization project is already underway and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
The initiative forms part of Indus Motor’s broader strategy to gradually raise the share of locally produced components in vehicles assembled in Pakistan.
By expanding localization, the company aims to cut foreign exchange outflows, support the domestic auto parts industry and create employment opportunities.
The move also aligns with wider efforts in Pakistan’s auto sector to strengthen the local manufacturing base and reduce exposure to currency volatility and rising import costs.
Indus Motor said the additional investment would help improve supply chain resilience while supporting the long-term growth of the domestic automotive industry.
