Pak Star Automobile (Pvt.) Ltd has increased the prices of its metro electric vehicles (EVs) due to a massive increase in the prices of petroleum products.
According to the official notification issued on April 3, 2026, the company said the transfer of the EVs through the sea, the logistics expenses from Karachi port to the factory, and further dealership deliveries have cost the company a lot.

The company officials added that a rise in the petrol price is a key factor in the price hike of the electric vehicles.
The official said that an increase in the petroleum items has caused chaos in the market, leaving no choice for the company but to increase the prices of the vehicles.
New prices of electric vehicles
The delivery of a Metro electric vehicle will cost Rs5000 extra from April 3, as it is in effect now.
The dealers are instructed to deposit all payments, including the extra amounts that are above the current retail prices.
