This takes FY25 sales to 1.5mn units, a 32% YoY rise.

According to Myesha Sohail, an auto analyst at Topline Research, the MoM rise was mainly led by 39-month high Alto sales due to pre-buying as GST was set to increase effective from July 1 — from 12.5% to 18%.

YoY growth is supported by a more stable macroeconomic environment, introduction of more variants, lower interest rates, easing inflation and improving consumer sentiment. Company-wise: Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) posted the highest MoM growth of 2.4x, mainly due to a 2.8x MoM rise to 9,497 units of Alto sold in June 2025, a 39-month high. Cultus also saw a 2.1x MoM rise to 523 units.

Sazgar Engineering (SAZEW) posted the MoM growth of 47$ and a 55$ YoY rise to 1,349 units, the second highest monthly sales. The launch of the new facelift of HAVAL also supported higher sales. In FY25, total sales surged 2x YoY to 10,844 units, up from 5,374 units in FY24.

“We expect positive momentum to continue in auto sales in FY26 due to lower interest rates and pipeline of new models to be launched by companies across different engines ie Hybrid, Plugin Hybrid etc.” said Myesha Sohail.
