Hyundai Nishat (Urdu: ہیونڈے نشاط) is a Pakistani automobile manufacturer and joint venture between Hyundai and Nishat Mills, based in Faisalabad, Pakistan.[1][2]
Hyundai Nishat is the authorized assembler and manufacturer of Hyundai vehicles in Pakistan and began production from its Faisalabad plant in 2019.[3][4]
History
Hyundai returned to Pakistan in 2017 by partnering with Nishat Mills, a subsidiary of Nishat Group. Hyundai used to assemble cars in Pakistan until 2004, when their local partner Dewan Farooque Motors went bankrupt.
Hyundai Nishat Motor signed an investment agreement with the Ministry of Industries and Production under the Automotive Development Policy 2016-21.[5][6] The intent of the government is to shake up the Japanese-dominated car market and loosen the grip of Toyota, Honda and Suzuki, who assemble cars in Pakistan with local partners.[4]
Industry Competition
Kia Lucky Motors, MG JW Automobile and Changan Automobile are also launching new models keeping competition alive for Hyundai.[7][6] In response to the competition, Hyundai Pakistan is expected to hike production by 100 percent in the first quarter of 2021.[8]
Product Competition
Hyundai Nishat Motor launched Elantra sedan in March 2021. Elantra will give tough competition to Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.[9]
Hyundai Nishat Motor launched Santa Fe mid-size SUV to give tough competition to Kia Sorento and Toyota Fortuner.[10]
