By In a significant step towards strengthening Pakistan’s electric vehicle (EV) industry, Airlink Communication Limited has announced plans to establish an electric bike manufacturing plant under its newly introduced AirV brand. The company disclosed the development through a formal notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), highlighting its commitment to expanding into technology-driven mobility solutions.
The project represents Airlink’s strategic move beyond consumer electronics and IT products, positioning the company as a new player in Pakistan’s rapidly evolving electric mobility sector.
Advanced Assembly Plant to Be Built in Lahore
According to the company’s official notification, the new electric bike assembly facility will be established at Airlink’s existing manufacturing complex located in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone (SGSEZ), Lahore.
The proposed facility is expected to feature advanced assembly capabilities that will enable the production of modern electric motorcycles designed to meet the increasing demand for affordable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions in Pakistan.
The Board of Directors has also authorized the company’s management to undertake all necessary regulatory approvals, commercial arrangements, and operational activities required for the successful implementation of the project.
AirV Brand to Enter Pakistan’s Growing EV Market
The launch of the AirV brand signals Airlink’s official entry into Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market, which has witnessed increasing momentum in recent years.
With rising fuel prices, growing environmental awareness, and supportive government policies encouraging electric vehicle adoption, demand for electric motorcycles and scooters is steadily increasing across the country.
Industry analysts believe that locally assembled electric bikes can help:
- Reduce dependence on imported petroleum fuels
- Lower transportation costs for consumers
- Decrease carbon emissions
- Promote cleaner urban mobility
- Support Pakistan’s long-term EV policy objectives
By manufacturing electric bikes locally, Airlink could also contribute to employment generation and strengthen Pakistan’s domestic automotive supply chain.
Diversifying Beyond Smartphones and IT Products
Airlink Communication Limited has built its reputation as one of Pakistan’s leading technology companies, primarily engaged in the import, export, distribution, retail, and manufacturing of communication and IT products.
Established in 2014 as a private limited company before becoming a public limited company in 2019, Airlink has played a major role in Pakistan’s smartphone ecosystem through partnerships with leading global brands and local manufacturing initiatives.
The company’s current business includes:
- Smartphones
- Mobile phones
- Tablets
- Laptops
- Accessories
- IT and communication products
- Electronics distribution and retail
The addition of the AirV electric bike project represents a major diversification into advanced mobility technologies.
Why This Project Matters
Pakistan’s electric vehicle market is gradually expanding as consumers seek alternatives to conventional petrol-powered motorcycles. The government’s National Electric Vehicle (NEV) Policy aims to encourage local EV manufacturing through incentives, localization, and investment in charging infrastructure.
Airlink’s investment aligns with these national objectives by supporting domestic production rather than relying solely on imported electric vehicles.
Establishing manufacturing operations within the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone may also provide operational advantages, including improved industrial infrastructure and incentives designed to attract manufacturing investments.
What Comes Next?
While Airlink has not yet revealed production timelines, investment figures, pricing, or the technical specifications of its upcoming AirV electric bikes, the company’s latest announcement confirms that preparations are underway to bring the project to life.
Industry observers will now be watching for further updates regarding:
- Production capacity
- Launch schedule
- Model lineup
- Battery technology
- Dealer network
- Pricing and availability
These details are expected to emerge as the project progresses through its regulatory and operational phases.
Pakistan’s EV Industry Continues to Expand
Airlink’s announcement comes at a time when Pakistan’s electric mobility landscape is experiencing significant growth. Several local and international companies have introduced electric motorcycles, scooters, passenger vehicles, and commercial EVs, reflecting increasing confidence in the country’s transition toward sustainable transportation.
The establishment of the AirV electric bike manufacturing plant further strengthens Pakistan’s growing EV ecosystem and demonstrates how technology companies are increasingly investing in next-generation mobility solutions.
If executed successfully, the project could help accelerate electric bike adoption while contributing to cleaner transportation, industrial growth, and local manufacturing capabilities.
