Buying a car in Pakistan is not a small dream for the common people. While cars in India are cheaper for an average middle class family, in Pakistan they are sold at many times higher prices. The biggest example of this is Maruti Suzuki WagonR. The initial price of this car in India is 4.98 lakhs, which is Rs 32.14 lakh.
Buying a car in Pakistan is nothing short of a nightmare for the common man. In India, where the prices of cars are in reach of the average middle class family, the same cars in Pakistan are sold at more prices. A big example of this is Maruti Suzuki WagonR. The initial price of this car in India is around 4.98 lakh rupees, while in Pakistan the same car is being sold for about 32.14 lakh rupees.
Similarly, the initial price of the most popular hatchback, Suzuki Alto, is only Rs 3.50 lakhs in India. However, its price in Pakistan is more than Rs 23.31 lakh. This difference is so high that a mid-size SUV can also be purchased in India.
Car prices in Pakistan
Suzuki Alto: Initial Price ₹ 23.31 Lakh
Suzuki Swift: ₹ 47.19 Lakh
Toyota Fortuner: ₹ 1.45 Crore
Honda City: ₹ 46.5 Lakh
Toyota Corolla: Initial Price ₹ 62 Lakh
Mahindra Thar: ₹ 28 Lakh
WagonR: ₹ 32 Lakh
Given these prices, it is clear that buying a car in Pakistan is a major economic burden for people. At the same time, the prices of these cars in India are very low.
Why so high prices?
Lack of local production and dependence on imports in Pakistan is a clear cause of high prices of cars. In addition, the falling price of Pakistani rupee also plays an important role in the rise in cars prices against high tax, inflation and dollar.
Automobile Industry Status
A normal middle class family in India can easily buy cars like Alto, WagonR and Swift, but it is very difficult to buy the same cars in Pakistan. Such a big difference in prices clearly shows the economy of both countries and the condition of the automobile industry. Buying a car in Pakistan is still considered a luxury, whereas in India it has become a common need.
