Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD has expanded its presence in Pakistan by opening its first dealership in Sialkot. The move brings electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles closer to customers in one of Punjab’s major industrial cities.
BYD launched the new dealership in partnership with Mega Motor Company (MMC) on November 10, 2026. The opening marks another step in the company’s plans to expand its nationwide sales network.
The new showroom sits on Daska Road in Sialkot. It will serve customers from the city and surrounding areas. Buyers can explore BYD’s growing range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

The dealership strengthens BYD’s position in Punjab as Pakistan’s electric vehicle market continues to develop. The company aims to make advanced vehicle technology more accessible to local customers.
Sialkot is an important industrial and commercial center in Pakistan. Its growing business activity makes it a valuable market for automobile companies seeking new customers.
BYD’s decision to enter Sialkot also reflects its wider expansion plans. The company wants to increase its reach beyond Pakistan’s largest cities.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Danish Khaliq, Vice President of Sales and Strategy at BYD Pakistan-MMC, highlighted the growing interest in electric vehicles.
He said Pakistan’s shift toward electric mobility depends on access to modern vehicles and greater consumer confidence.
Khaliq explained that BYD-MMC wants to make its technology and vehicles available to more customers across Pakistan.
He described the Sialkot dealership as another important step toward expanding access to electric and plug-in hybrid transportation.
The company believes a stronger dealership network will help more people explore alternatives to petrol and diesel vehicles.
BYD offers both fully electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Fully electric models run on battery power, while plug-in hybrids combine electric motors with petrol engines.
These options allow buyers to choose vehicles based on their travel needs, budgets, and access to charging facilities.
Electric vehicles can help motorists reduce fuel expenses. However, their overall running costs depend on electricity prices, driving habits, and maintenance requirements.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles offer another option for drivers who want electric driving capability without relying entirely on charging stations.
BYD has already introduced several models in Pakistan, including the Atto 2, Atto 3, Seal, Sealion 7, and Shark 6.
The vehicles target different customer needs, ranging from urban travel to family transportation and pickup truck use.
The latest dealership expansion could make it easier for customers in Sialkot to explore these vehicles without traveling to larger cities.
The News+1
BYD has continued expanding its footprint in Pakistan through its partnership with Mega Motor Company. The partnership focuses on introducing modern electric mobility solutions to the country’s automobile market.
The company has also announced plans to develop local electric vehicle assembly facilities.
Local assembly could help strengthen Pakistan’s automobile industry and support the development of related businesses. However, the final impact will depend on production costs, market demand, and government policies.
Meanwhile, Pakistan faces growing demand for affordable and fuel-efficient transportation. Electric vehicles could offer an alternative for buyers seeking lower fuel consumption.
However, charging infrastructure remains an important factor in wider electric vehicle adoption.
Customers also consider vehicle prices, battery performance, maintenance costs, and after-sales support before switching to electric cars.
A wider dealership network could help address some of these concerns by improving access to company representatives and product information.
BYD-MMC says it will continue expanding its sales network and vehicle lineup across Pakistan.
The company aims to strengthen its position in the country’s automobile industry while encouraging more consumers to consider electric transportation.
The Sialkot showroom adds another location to BYD’s growing network. It also gives customers in the region greater access to the company’s latest vehicle technology.
For local buyers, the opening means they can now explore BYD vehicles closer to home.
For Pakistan’s automobile market, the expansion signals growing competition as international manufacturers increase their focus on electric and hybrid vehicles.
The company’s next steps will show how quickly it can expand its presence and attract new customers beyond major urban centers.
