The company will set up showrooms in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad and start sales in the fourth quarter of this year, the source said.
A BYD spokesperson confirmed that the company plans to enter the Pakistani market with BEV and PHEV models, but declined to comment on plans for a local plant, the report said.
The plant will be located near Karachi's Port Qasim, an area that is home to assembly plants for other car companies such as Toyota, Suzuki and Kia's local subsidiaries, according to Bloomberg.
