Why Have Companies Started to Increase Car Prices?
Almost all the auto assemblers in Pakistan raised the prices of their vehicles recently. They all have the same reasons for the price hike, and these reasons aren’t invalid. These reasons are the devaluation of Pakistani Rupee, increased cost of production and now an increase in the GST rate, etc.
