KARACHI, September 8, 2026: BYD’s planned $150 million electric vehicle (EV) assembly plant in Gharo, Sindh, has faced another delay. The facility, being developed by Mega Motor Company and BYD, is now expected to become operational in the second half of 2026.
The plant is expected to have an annual production capacity of 25,000 vehicles. The capacity could later be increased to 50,000 units, depending on market demand.
The project is also targeting a 30% share of Pakistan’s combined electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid market by 2030. The investment is expected to support the development of Pakistan’s local EV manufacturing sector and increase the availability of new energy vehicles.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s EV market continues to expand. The new energy vehicle (NEV) segment recorded strong growth during FY26, reflecting rising interest in electric and hybrid vehicles.
The BYD assembly plant is therefore expected to play an important role in the country’s growing EV market once it becomes operational.
