Over 300 ‘Honri-VE' assembled, delivered to Eco-Green Motors: DFML
These vehicles are now poised for onward delivery to customers, marking a crucial step in the widespread adoption of electric mobility in Pakistan. The announcement was formally communicated in a letter addressed to the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited on July 8, 2025.
DFML had previously informed on October 11 last year about its strategic toll manufacturing arrangement with its associated company, Eco-Green Motors Limited, for the assembly of the Honri-VE electric vehicles. The successful assembly and handover of more than 300 units within a relatively short period since the restart of manufacturing operations underscore the company's operational efficiency and commitment to its new ventures, the letter added.
Dewan Farooque Motors Limited, a public limited company incorporated in Pakistan in 1998, has a core business revolving around the assembling, progressive manufacturing, and sale of vehicles in Pakistan. The company in its letter to the PSX expressed its profound appreciation and gratitude to all stakeholders for their unwavering trust and confidence, especially as it re-establishes its presence in the manufacturing sector. This milestone not only highlights DFML's progress in the EV segment but also signifies its robust reentry into the broader automotive manufacturing landscape, it added.

Customs data purge raises red flags over audit integrity
LAHORE: The Pakistan Customs is facing criticism for purging import-export data older than five years from its central digital repository, WeBOC. The data purge, which began in March 2025, is part of the transition to the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) platform. However, this move has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability. The purge may disrupt statutory audits, particularly for oil and gas imports, where audits are conducted after five years to levy surcharges or recover duties. Furthermore, several court cases involving customs fraud and misdeclaration, some dating back over five years, may be impacted, potentially compromising justice and revenue recovery. The data purge has also resulted in limited access, with only the deputy collector RMS retaining limited access to legacy data. This centralizes control and restricts oversight, raising concerns about accountability and the potential for data manipulation. The implications of this policy shift are far-reaching. The purge may hinder revenue recovery efforts, particularly in cases where audits and investigations are pending. Trade and legal circles are urging caution, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the data purge process. Stakeholders are demanding a more nuanced approach to ensure that the rights of all parties are protected. The lack of transparency and limited access to data may compromise the integrity of audits and investigations, ultimately affecting revenue recovery and justice. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
