On August 12, 2024, the Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, visited Indus Motor Company’s (IMC) state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Port Qasim Authority, Karachi. This visit underscored the Sindh government’s dedication to fostering large-scale industrial growth within the province.

During his visit, Chief Minister Shah was given an in-depth tour of IMC’s advanced manufacturing facility, where he was briefed on the latest production processes, including the globally renowned Toyota Production System. The visit highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability in the automotive industry.

One of the key points of discussion during the visit was IMC’s recent export initiatives. Last year, the company successfully began exporting raw materials to Egypt, marking a significant milestone in becoming a part of Toyota’s Global Supply Chain. Building on this success, IMC has recently commenced the export of Toyota vehicles to Oceanian countries, including popular models such as the Toyota Fortuner, Hilux, and Corolla Cross.

The Chief Minister expressed his admiration for IMC’s efforts, particularly in leading the production of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) in Pakistan. He praised the company for its significant financial investment in both its manufacturing plant and human capital, emphasizing that such efforts set a benchmark in the automotive industry. “Indus Motor has set a benchmark in the automotive industry with its dedication to innovation and sustainability. The heavy financial investment in the impressive, state-of-the-art plant and human capital speaks volumes of the company’s focus on the quality and safety of its products. The provincial government is keen to continue supporting such initiatives that not only drive economic growth but also promote environmental responsibility, not only in Sindh but across the country. We will continue to work closely with stakeholders from the local auto industry to ensure a conducive environment,” said Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.

Ali Asghar Jamali, CEO of Indus Motor Company, welcomed the Chief Minister and emphasized the need for stable policies to sustain growth in the automotive sector. “It’s an honor to have Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah visit us at the plant. His presence reaffirms the government’s support for industrial growth. This exchange of knowledge and expertise not only benefits individuals but also positions Pakistan as a hub of skilled labor in the global automotive industry.”

Jamali also highlighted the importance of consistent long-term policies to promote investment and development in the automotive sector. He called on the government to support the industry by curbing the import of illegally imported used cars, which have surged in the country during FY23-24.

The visit concluded with the Chief Minister pledging to promote small and medium vendor industries that could supply raw materials for auto parts not currently produced in the country. This initiative would further increase parts localization in the local auto industry, reducing dependence on imports and fostering greater economic resilience.
