Hyundai Nishat witnessed an increase in sales by selling 627 units of its vehicles last month, recording an MoM increase of 4 percent.
Since Kia Lucky Motors, Master Changan Motors, Regal Motors, MG JW SEZ, Al-Haj Proton, and other new entrants are not yet members of the PAMA, their monthly sales figures are not available for public review.
With that said, here’s how some of the most popular vehicles did in terms of sales in July 2021 as compared to the previous month:

While almost all other automakers have seen an increase in car sales, HACL has witnessed a decline, which is likely due in large part to the discontinuation of Honda City. In the table above, a noticeable decrease can be seen in the sales figures of “Civic & City”, which most probably implies that the lack of Honda City units has caused a decline.
Other than this, there are talks about a possible upcoming time of strife in the automobile industry, as the fluctuations in the local currency as well as certain supply chain issues such as increased freight charges, scarcity of containers and staff on ports, shortage of vehicle manufacturing raw materials and other vital components such as the semi-conductor microchip, all continue to pummel the industry.
