# Pakistan Eyes Tyre Export Surge with $120m JV Expansion

**Islamabad (TDI):** Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan held a meeting with Jin Yongsheng, Chairman of Service Long March Tyres, to discuss investment expansion, export growth, and tariff support for Pakistan’s tyre industry. Federal Secretary Commerce Jawad Paul and senior officials were also present.

During the meeting, the company announced an additional investment of $120 million, reaffirming confidence in Pakistan’s industrial potential. The delegation shared that exports are expected to reach $70 million by June 2026, with a target of surpassing $100 million in the next fiscal year, positioning the firm among the country’s leading non-textile exporters in a short time.

Officials noted that Pakistan has made significant progress in global tyre markets, with exports to the United States and Brazil increasing rapidly. They said that the country has emerged as the fifth-largest exporter of tyres to the United States and the seventh-largest to Brazil, marking a notable shift from virtually no presence in these markets just a few years ago.

This growth has largely been attributed to the transfer of technology and expertise through collaboration with Chinese partners, which has enabled local manufacturing to meet international standards and compete globally, the meeting was informed.

Federal Minister Jam Kamal Khan acknowledged the concerns raised by the industry and reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting sectors that demonstrate strong performance and export potential. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced tariff policy that encourages local production while ensuring competitiveness.

The minister noted that the government is working towards diversifying Pakistan’s industrial base by promoting emerging industries with high growth potential.

The delegation also highlighted the importance of the Pakistan-China industrial partnership, describing it as a key driver behind the rapid growth of the tyre sector. The company’s manufacturing facility in Nooriabad was cited as a modern and efficient industrial unit employing around 2,000 workers and incorporating renewable energy solutions, making it one of the more sustainable production facilities in the region.

Both sides agreed on the need to strengthen collaboration between the government and industry to support export-oriented growth and industrial expansion. The minister underscored that Pakistan must focus on diversification and leverage international partnerships to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and global competitiveness.
