    “Despite shortage of semi-conductor chips, disruption in international supply chain and booking suspension of various automobiles, the massive growth in sales volumes remained intact mainly due to: improved purchasing power amid rapid economic recovery; and consumers interest in buying cars in anticipation of price hike as cars are soon expected to be slapped with increased regulatory duty (RD) and federal excise duty (FED).”

    In below 1,000 cc, volumes are significantly up by 211 per cent YoY owing to massive surge in sales of Alto. In 1300cc and above, total sales stood at 9,955 units, increasing by 106 per cent YoY due to impressive dispatches of Civic/City, Corolla and Yaris by 188 per cent, 77 per cent and 37 per cent YoY, respectively.

    In December 2021, total sales significantly increased by 104 per cent YoY to 15,503 units compared to 7,594 units in December 2020. The all time high monthly sales is mainly attributable to the announcement of price increase by the PSMC which eased cost and exchange rate pressure on it to some extent and thereby lead to resumption of suspended bookings of various models.
