Air Link Communication Limited will establish an electric bike manufacturing project under its own brand, AirV, after the company’s board of directors approved the initiative. The project envisages setting up an advanced electric bike assembly plant at the company’s manufacturing facility located in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone in Lahore. The development was disclosed through a notification filed with the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where Airlink is listed.
The initiative forms part of Airlink’s broader strategy to diversify its manufacturing portfolio beyond its existing operations into emerging technology driven mobility solutions, positioning the company to capitalize on rising demand for electric vehicles in Pakistan. The company’s board has authorized management to undertake all necessary regulatory, commercial, and operational activities required to bring the project to completion, though specific details on investment size, production capacity, or expected launch timelines were not disclosed in the filing.
Airlink has built a diversified manufacturing base over recent years, expanding from its original position as a mobile phone assembler into a broader portfolio of consumer electronics and technology products. The company has also moved into adjacent business areas recently, including the launch of a buy now pay later subsidiary, reflecting a pattern of expansion into new revenue streams beyond its core electronics assembly business. The entry into electric bike manufacturing continues that diversification trend, placing Airlink alongside a small but growing number of Pakistani companies exploring domestic assembly of electric two wheelers as demand for lower cost, lower emission transportation options increases in urban centers across the country.
The Sundar Green Special Economic Zone in Lahore, where the new assembly line will be based, has served as an industrial hub for several manufacturing operations in Punjab, offering companies incentives tied to operating within a designated economic zone. Airlink’s decision to house its electric bike venture at this facility suggests the company intends to leverage existing manufacturing infrastructure and zone based incentives rather than establishing an entirely separate production site. Further details on the AirV brand, including specific bike models, pricing, and rollout timeline, are expected to be disclosed as the project moves from board approval into active implementation.
