History

Hyundai used to assemble cars in Pakistan until 2004, when their local partner Dewan Farooque Motors went bankrupt.
Hyundai returned to Pakistan in 2017 by partnering with Nishat Mills, a subsidiary of Nishat Group. Hyundai Nishat Motor signed an investment agreement with the Ministry of Industries and Production under the Automotive Development Policy 2016-21. 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.
