“This is a great way to start the new financial year and I want to thank all of you for making it happen. For us at Toyota, safety takes precedence over everything else, be it at the factory, on the roads or advocating for a safer environment. This safety culture is not just limited to us rather, transcends to our complete value chain. Adding to it, under our social responsibility program, Concern Beyond Cars, in 2021 we rolled-out the Toyota 5S Program to benefit a wider audience outside the realm of IMC.

The Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 serves as a guide which aims moving towards a society where people, cars and nature can co-exist in harmony and we’re committed to do our part for achieving a more sustainable society.

Congrats to everyone on the IMC Team for this great effort and achievement.

Karachi, 15th August 2024 – Indus Motor Company’s (IMC) one-off social initiative, the National Flag Collection Drive, now in its seventh year, has garnered quite a bit of attention over the years. A team of young volunteers from the company set off on a mission to salvage national flags strewn around Karachi on the morning following Independence Day celebrations.


The Independence Day and the days leading to it, generate quite a frenzy, with every neighbourhood across the country splashed in green and white, a painter’s delight. However, overnight all this turns pitiful with flags which just a day earlier were fluttering high above ground, are sadly found tattered and littered all over, on the roads, even garbage heaps or strewn on the ground, waiting to be carelessly trampled under-foot, an insult to our national pride.

As part of Toyota’s 5S philosophy, every 15th August, IMC under its CSR banner, Concern Beyond Cars, engages its employees under its Employee Volunteering Program, to help mitigate this desecration. Over 60 volunteers, clad in Toyota red t-shirts and white baseball caps sporting the crescent and star and equipped with PPEs, moved along six pre-determined separate routes across the city, collecting national flags and buntings littered around the city, later buried under the earth on Company’s premises.


IMC’s Chief Executive, Ali Asghar Jamali expressed, “This experience is a sure patriotism booster, not just for us at IMC but the public in general too, who see our volunteers in action on the roads, salvaging our symbol of pride. This year participation from across the company has been great, especially with the female staff joining in. There are no second thoughts that every Pakistani values the kaumi parcham but it hurts to see it on the ground, soiled, tattered and stepped upon. Of course, it’s not intentional but we can all be a bit more cautious and give the national flag the respect it rightfully commands.”


The entire group later converged at the Clifton Beach where the team with the biggest haul, was declared the winner and awarded prizes. The activity also generated interest of the general public, who also joined in, considering it a civic duty, and appreciated IMCs efforts.

Karachi, July 31, 2024: In a first, Indus Motor Company (IMC) announced its pioneering export initiative at a ceremony held at the company’s manufacturing facility at Port Qasim Authority, Karachi. Gracing the occasion were the Federal Minister for Industries and Production, Mr Rana Tanveer; CEO EDB, Engineer Khuda Buksh, representation from the SIFC, several honorable government officials and Toyota’s top leadership, including Executive Vice President, Toyota Motor Asia, Mr Kazunari Iguchi. 

The milestone celebrates IMC’s strategic plans to begin exporting vehicles and parts, marking a significant contribution to Pakistan’s economy and the global automotive market. The company’s export line-up includes the Toyota Fortuner, Hilux and Corolla Cross models to Oceanian countries. This initiative reflects IMC’s commitment to advancing Pakistan’s automotive industry on the global stage.

Mr. Rana Tanveer, Federal Minister for Industries and Production, emphasized, “We are proud to see Indus Motor, one of Pakistan’s renowned companies, contributing towards exports. The government AIDEP 21-26 policy aims to boost the automotive sector by encouraging the export of localized parts and vehicles. IMC’s proactive approach in leading from the front sets a benchmark for others in the industry. We are committed to supporting the auto industry in every possible way.”

Mr Kazunari Iguchi, Executive Vice President, Toyota Motor Asia, added, “The partnership with IMC has been built over time and is immensely fruitful. In Toyota we say that we build people before we build cars, and this step is a testament to the improvement of skill, and training of the human resources from Pakistan. We look forward to continued collaboration and success, allowing us to continue to contribute to Pakistan.”

Mr Ali Asghar Jamali, CEO Indus Motor Company, concluded, “To see the ‘Make in Pakistan’ dream cross international borders is a big moment for not just for us but Pakistan too and we want to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support and trust to make this happen. Becoming part of Toyota’s global supply chain is an affirmation of IMC’s commitment to see Pakistan on the world map and strengthening its overall economy. This step not only underscores our dedication to excellence but also highlights our capability to compete in the global market and we are confident that our products will be well-received. Going forward, Inshahallah, we will endeavor to place Pakistan’s auto industry as a symbol of reliability and quality on the globe. This step is a milestone that will not only augment IMC’s export capabilities and serve as a testament to IMC’s quality standards but as the same progresses, to a large extent will also contribute towards the development of Pakistan’s growing auto industry.”

IMC continues to lead from the front and has contributed massively towards the establishment of the local automobile in the country, by creating its complete value chain with over 50 Part Manufacturers making over PKR 250 million worth of parts every working day, 57 independently owned authorized dealerships providing sales and aftersales service to customers, and employing over 450,000 people directly and indirectly, working across Pakistan.

By embracing this mandate, IMC continues to lead and contribute to Pakistan’s economic development, earning valuable foreign exchange and setting new benchmarks in the automotive sector.
