LAHORE: Air Link Communication Limited has announced plans to enter Pakistan’s electric vehicle market by launching an electric bike manufacturing project under its new AirV brand. The decision was approved during a meeting of the company’s board of directors held on July 23.
The new project marks a major step for Air Link as it expands beyond its existing business operations. The company aims to strengthen its presence in Pakistan’s growing electric mobility sector by manufacturing electric bikes locally.
According to the company, the electric bike assembly plant will be established at its manufacturing facility located in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone (SGSEZ) in Lahore. The plant will be equipped with modern production facilities to support the assembly of electric motorcycles under the AirV brand.
Air Link said the investment is part of its long-term business strategy. The company plans to diversify its manufacturing portfolio by entering technology-driven mobility solutions. It also aims to benefit from the increasing demand for electric vehicles across Pakistan.
Pakistan has witnessed growing interest in electric transportation in recent years. Rising fuel prices, environmental concerns, and government support for cleaner transport have encouraged companies to invest in the electric vehicle industry.
Industry experts believe the demand for electric bikes is expected to increase as consumers look for affordable and energy-efficient alternatives to traditional motorcycles. Local manufacturing could also help improve product availability and reduce dependence on imported vehicles.
The company’s board has authorized management to complete all necessary regulatory, commercial, and operational requirements before launching the project. This includes obtaining approvals, finalizing business arrangements, and completing the required preparations for production.
The announcement was made through a material information disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The disclosure was filed under Section 96 of the Securities Act, 2015, and Clause 5.6.1(a) of the PSX Regulations.
The move reflects Air Link‘s strategy to expand into new business sectors while responding to changing market trends. The company believes electric mobility will play an important role in Pakistan’s transportation future.
The launch of the AirV brand also highlights increasing private-sector investment in environmentally friendly transport solutions. As more companies enter the electric vehicle market, consumers may benefit from greater product choice and improved competition.
Electric bikes are generally considered more cost-effective to operate than fuel-powered motorcycles. They also produce lower emissions, making them an attractive option for reducing environmental pollution in urban areas.
The government has also expressed support for the development of Pakistan’s electric vehicle industry through various policy initiatives aimed at promoting cleaner transportation and local manufacturing.
With this latest decision, Air Link joins the growing list of companies investing in electric mobility. The company expects the AirV project to support its long-term growth while contributing to the expansion of Pakistan’s electric vehicle sector.
