      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330392664/car-sales-in-pakistan-surge-50-over-five-months-despite-november-decline</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan’s car market has experienced a remarkable growth of 50% over the first five months of the current fiscal year (FY25), with total sales reaching 38,534 units compared to 25,746 units during the same period last year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite a significant 25.08% drop in November &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/amp/30318853"&gt;sales&lt;/a&gt;, which fell to 7,909 units from 10,557 in October, the overall performance remains strong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/amp/30318853"&gt;PAMA&lt;/a&gt;) indicates that November’s sales were notably lower at 4,875 units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sales of jeeps, vans, and pickups have also shown robust demand, with a total of 12,259 units sold over the five-month period—an impressive 55% increase from the previous year, despite a slight monthly decline in November.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report highlights the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) into PAMA’s data, with Dewan’s Horni Ve &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30276678/"&gt;EV&lt;/a&gt; producing 70 units and selling 63.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leading the sales growth, Pak Suzuki Motor Company reported a 41% increase in sales, totaling 25,812 units from July to November.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indus Motor Company (IMC) saw a 67% rise with 10,886 units sold, while Honda Atlas Cars Ltd experienced a 50% increase, reaching 5,974 units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sazgar Engineering achieved a staggering 233% rise, selling 4,191 units, although Hyundai Nishat saw a slight decline of 1%, totaling 3,324 units.&lt;/p&gt;
