Hyundai announced this development on social media, showcasing the delivery of Completely Built Units (CBUs) to Sri Lanka on March 4, 2025. This marks a significant step for the local automotive sector, as it transitions from an import-driven market to one capable of exporting locally manufactured vehicles.
Boost to Local Manufacturing & Economic Growth
Hyundai Nishat’s confirmation that the exported Santa Fe Hybrid units are produced domestically highlights a transformative shift in the industry. The move aligns with government policies promoting local manufacturing and exports while reinforcing Pakistan’s position in the global automobile market. The export of these vehicles not only contributes to economic growth but also enhances investor confidence in Pakistan’s automotive sector, paving the way for further industrial advancements.
