The reason is the current economic situation. An increased dollar rate means an increase in raw materials prices. Raised GST is also among the major reasons behind this price hike. 

Conclusion

The signs aren’t good for the Pakistani automobile industry. Companies have been stormed with price hikes again this year. Last year, some manufacturers even increased prices 5-6 times. As a result, their sales dropped significantly in year-on-year comparison in the PAMA car sales report. This time, some companies have already increased prices 3-4 times in less than 2 months. If the trend continues, the companies may see a major decline in sales this year again.
