In response to a query about localisation, Rizvi stated that Pakistan’s industries have fundamental difficulties that must be solved before real localization can be achieved.

It would be hard to achieve localization if the government only spoke about it. Steel and plastic raisins are two businesses that the government should help. The only raw material we have right now is labour. Localised auto parts with a high labour intensity would have a localized cost of only 15% to 20%. “In most cases, local parts are only localised by 10% to 12%,” he clarified.
