Bestway Cement Limited has announced plans to enter Pakistan’s auto sector by establishing a new private limited subsidiary and investing Rs. 10 billion.
According to a notice sent to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the company’s Board of Directors, in its meeting, approved an investment plan in the automotive industry. Under the project, up to Rs. 4 billion will be invested as equity, while up to Rs. 6 billion will be provided as shareholder loans, subject to final approval from shareholders.
Bestway Cement Limited, incorporated in 1993 as a public limited company in Pakistan, is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sale of cement.
Meanwhile, the auto industry in Pakistan has been showing significant growth. In August 2025, car sales rose 62% year-on-year and 27% month-on-month, driven by improved consumer confidence and easier access to bank financing.
According to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), car sales (including LCVs, vans, and jeeps) in August 2025 stood at 14,050 units, compared to 8,699 units in August 2024 and 11,034 units in July 2025.
PAMA’s report for August 2025 also revealed that truck sales recorded a 140% year-on-year increase.
