Why did cars prices go up?
Indus Motor Company CEO Asghar Ali Jamali told SAMAA Digital that the new prices would be applicable on bookings made on and after November 10. “The new rates, however, will not apply to those who have already booked their cars and have deliveries due by December,” said Jamali.
“We won’t impose the burden of the price hike on customers. As a result, we have to bear the loss of Rs3 billion,” Jamali added.
Jamali said that those who have booked their vehicles and have November-December deliveries would pay the old rates. However, they will have to clear the remaining amount by November 15.
Jamali added that deliveries for January would be charged the new rates.
“The cost of raw material has increased in the international market that causes production cost to rise and the dollar rate has reached Rs174.70. Moreover, freight charges have gone up,” he said.
