In the above price chart, all prices in price are ex-factory, and have been increased by Rs. 30,000. About 3 months ago, the company reported its previous price hit. Moreover, just like before, the latest price climb is also being credited to the Pakistani rupee’s declining value next to USD.
The company claims that when the value of rupee drops, its import cost for raw material and other components also increases to an extent. In order to cope up with this situation, the company has to acquire additional costs to assemble a unit before selling it to consumers as they import most of their components instead of producing them locally.
On the other hand, just like previous condition, other local assemblers Toyota Indus, Honda Pakistan as well as Al-Haj FAW are greatly expected to go with the decision and pursue suit.
