ISLAMABAD: Yamaha Motor Pakistan Ltd, a subsidiary of Japan’s Yamaha Motor Co., has announced it will discontinue motorcycle manufacturing in Pakistan but continue to supply spare parts and honor warranty services, the company said this week.
YMPL, which began operations in Karachi in 2015 with an initial workforce of 200 employees, was the sole assembler and distributor of Yamaha-branded motorcycles in the country.
“Due to a change in our business policy, we would like to inform you that we will discontinue manufacturing of motorcycles,” YMPL said in a statement on Tuesday. “We sincerely appreciate your long-standing support and loyalty over the years.”
The decision comes even as industry sales have rebounded, though monthly figures show signs of volatility, according to brokerage Topline Securities.
In its report from last month, the firm said sales of two- and three-wheelers rose 44 percent year-on-year but fell 12 percent month-on-month to 122,441 units in July 2025. Newly included electric motorcycles and three-wheelers accounted for 542 units of the total, while Road Prince figures were still awaited and could add about 2,000 units.
