By Pakistan’s shift toward clean transportation moved forward after Mega Motor Company signed a major financing agreement for a new energy vehicle manufacturing plant. The project will establish the country’s first large scale purpose built NEV facility and support green industrial growth.
Mega Motor Company, the official BYD partner in Pakistan, signed the agreement with British International Investment, the United Kingdom’s development finance institution. The organization will provide long term foreign currency financing covering 25 percent of the total project cost.
The company plans to launch operations in the second half of 2026. Engineers will equip the plant with advanced automation systems and modern production technology that meet global automotive standards. Industry observers view the agreement as one of Pakistan’s earliest green energy linked investments in vehicle manufacturing.
Investment supports clean mobility transition
The project aims to expand access to cleaner transport solutions across Pakistan. Experts say the transport sector produces more than 43 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, policymakers now focus on sustainable mobility solutions.
Research from the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics shows that a 30 percent shift toward new energy vehicles could reduce total emissions by nearly 20 percent. Clean mobility also helps reduce fuel imports and supports energy security.
Officials believe local manufacturing will make environmentally friendly vehicles more accessible to consumers. As a result, the initiative may accelerate adoption of cleaner transport options nationwide.
Economic impact and job creation
The NEV plant will also strengthen Pakistan’s industrial sector. The project is expected to create more than 1,100 jobs and promote technology transfer. Additionally, it will help build a stronger automotive supply chain within the country.
Mega Motor Company CEO Aly Khan described the project as a critical step for Pakistan’s economic and energy future. He stated that clean mobility remains essential for long term national development. He also emphasized the importance of developing a competitive local NEV ecosystem.
British International Investment officials said the financing supports sustainable industrial transformation and climate action goals. They added that the investment will help Pakistan expand its clean transport ecosystem while creating employment opportunities.
Environmental goals and future outlook
The project will deliver measurable environmental benefits over the coming years. Estimates suggest the plant could prevent around 165,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2034.
