Millat Group of Industries, whose flagship company is Millat Tractors Limited, is set to enter Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market with the launch of a new range of electric bikes and scooters next month. The move marks a significant expansion for the group beyond its established presence in tractor manufacturing and agricultural implements into the country’s growing electric mobility sector.
According to Murad Ansari, Director of Millat Group of Industries, the company’s dedicated EV production facility is ready, with commercial production and launch preparations now underway. Millat’s electric two-wheelers will focus on quality, reliability, long lasting batteries, and competitive pricing, with the company aiming to offer options for consumers across different segments of Pakistani society. The new range will also include models equipped with swappable battery technology, giving customers added convenience and flexibility compared to fixed battery designs that require full recharging at a single location.
A major part of Millat’s strategy centers on rapid localization, drawing on the company’s decades of experience in local tractor manufacturing. The company plans to progressively localize components, spare parts, and after-sales support for its electric bikes and scooters, an approach intended to ensure the availability of spare parts and local service while reducing dependence on imports and minimizing potential supply chain disruptions. This localization focus distinguishes Millat’s entry into the EV market from some other new entrants that may rely more heavily on imported components and international supply chains.
To support customers, Millat is establishing a dedicated EV dealership network across Pakistan, while also planning to leverage the extensive infrastructure of Millat Tractors, including its more than 700 dealerships and workshops across the country, to strengthen the availability of service, spare parts, and customer support. Ansari said the company’s objective extends beyond simply introducing electric two-wheelers to building a sustainable and locally supported EV ecosystem in Pakistan, backed by Millat’s manufacturing experience and nationwide service infrastructure.
Millat’s automotive experience extends beyond tractors, with the group having also partnered with Hyundai Nishat in the assembly and manufacturing of Hyundai vehicles in Pakistan, adding to its broader experience across the country’s automotive manufacturing sector. The EV initiative marks a new chapter for Millat Group as it brings its established manufacturing expertise, localization capabilities, and nationwide aftermarket infrastructure into Pakistan’s expanding electric mobility sector, positioning the company as one of the more established industrial players to formally enter the country’s electric two-wheeler market.
