Kia Motors faces delivery delays amid Sindh protests

Karachi, April 28, 2025 – Kia Motors is grappling with delays in vehicle deliveries across Pakistan due to ongoing protests and road blockages in Sindh.

The company, operating locally as Kia Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC), recently issued a transparent statement addressing the situation and reassuring its customers of its commitment to resolving the issue promptly.

While deliveries for March were completed on schedule, Kia Motors acknowledged that pending orders for April have faced unavoidable disruptions. The company attributed the delay not to production issues but to transportation challenges arising from protests in Sindh.

Root Cause of the Delays

The widespread protests, primarily sparked by public opposition to a controversial federal canal project, have created significant unrest across Sindh. Citizens fear the project could threaten the province’s water rights and environmental balance. As a result, major highways have been blocked, severely affecting the transportation of goods, including vehicle deliveries by Kia Motors.

Kia Motors’ Response

In its public communication, Kia Lucky Motor Corporation emphasized that all production facilities remain fully operational and vehicle manufacturing is continuing without interruption. However, external circumstances such as blocked transport routes have temporarily disrupted dispatch operations to other parts of the country. Kia Motors assured its customers that the company is actively working with logistics partners to monitor the situation and resume normal deliveries as soon as the roads are deemed safe.

Lucky Motor Corporation reaffirmed that the safety of its employees, vehicles, and the overall customer experience are top priorities. To mitigate the impact, the company has taken several measures, including proactive customer communication and offering alternative delivery arrangements where possible.

This proactive approach by Kia Motors highlights a strong commitment to customer service and corporate responsibility. The company’s quick acknowledgment of the situation and transparent updates reflect an understanding of how crucial trust and communication are during such disruptions.

For customers seeking updates or assistance, Kia Motors has encouraged contacting their customer care center or their respective dealerships directly. Dedicated hotlines and email support have been set up to ensure that customers remain informed throughout the process.

As the situation unfolds, Kia Motors’ handling of the crisis stands as a testament to its focus on maintaining strong relationships with its growing customer base in Pakistan.
