Indus Motor Company reports a 33% increase in unit sales and a significant rise in revenue and profits for FY2025-26, attributing growth to market recovery, cost controls, localisation, and sustainability initiatives amidst ongoing industry pressures.
Indus Motor Company said its performance for the year to June 30, 2026, improved sharply as Pakistan’s car market recovered, with sales rising 33% to 45,035 units and revenue climbing to Rs258.75 billion from Rs215.14 billion a year earlier. The company said profit before taxation and levy reached Rs42.82 billion, while net profit after tax came in at Rs25.51 billion and earnings per share increased to Rs324.50.
The Karachi-based automaker attributed the stronger showing to tighter cost control, deeper localisation and favourable exchange-rate movements. It also pointed to a broader rebound in the local auto sector, with Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association data showing passenger car and light commercial vehicle sales rose 39% to more than 206,000 units during the year, helped by better consumer sentiment, easier financing and efforts to rein in used-vehicle imports. Even so, used imports still accounted for about 19% of the market, underlining pressure on domestic producers.
Chairman Mohamedali R Habib said the year reflected economic stabilisation and gradual recovery in Pakistan, while warning that the industry needs a stable and predictable policy framework to support localisation, innovation, technology transfer and long-term industrial investment. Chief executive Ali Asghar Jamali said the company remained focused on operational excellence, innovation, localisation and disciplined capital allocation.
Indus Motor also highlighted sustainability and social spending. The company said it became the first automaker in Pakistan to complete the planting of one million trees nationwide, alongside 16,000 mangroves on the Sindh coast. It said 85% of its dealerships now run on solar power and more than 13% of local suppliers have shifted to solar energy. Through its “Concern Beyond Cars” programme, the company invested Rs377 million in community initiatives that reached 255,761 people, up 27% from the previous year. Earlier in the year, the company also reported its strongest half-yearly profit since 2014 and paid sizeable interim dividends, signalling that the recovery was visible well before the full-year numbers were released.
