Red Indicates present tariff/ Policy
i) / The facts for Two/Three Wheeler industry are much different from that of other sectors. It has more than 70 players. The localization level is also much higher (between 85% to 92%).
ii) / The challenges being faced by this sector are also different from those of the other sectors. The OEM's in the organized sector are at a clear disadvantage as compared with the unorganized sector. Under invoicing, mis-declaration, outright smuggling and non payment of Sales Tax and other Government levies, by the unorganized sector, have placed the organized sector at a major cost disadvantage.
iii) / This sector is highly cost sensitive. The cost differential between the organized sector and the unorganized sector is making it more attractive to be in the unorganized sector.
iv) / As more and more business moves into the unorganized sector, it will reduce localization. It is a fact that at present most of the assembly is through commercial import or through imported parts from illegal sources. This is forcing business out of country and not only the OEMs are suffering but this situation is a major set-back for the vendor industry too.
v) / Solution lies in reducing cost for the industry. To keep business in the organized sector, the cost has to be brought down for them. Rationalizing tariff rates is the way forward. Reduced tariff rates will make present practices of the unorganized sector unattractive and it will make business sense to procure locally. Volumes, make localization attractive and imports costly.
Note: This proposal is submitted by Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association & the main body of Motorcycle Assemblers APMA, Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers is not agree with this.
