With a foregin direct investment of Rs. 663 million and local investment of Rs. 637 million, MG is set to manufacture electric vehicles in its own specialized economic zone (SEZ).
Javed Afridi has always been an advocate of electric cars and has always been vocal about having an electric vehicles policy as, according to him, it will benefit both the automakers as well as the public.
What do you make of this news? Do you think the CKD version of MG EVs will cost less once they start to be manufactured in Pakistan?
