Sazgar Engineering: How a $10.8 Million Company Became Worth $500 Million in Three Years

Sazgar Engineering Works Limited has delivered one of the most impressive turnarounds in Pakistan’s stock market. In February 2023 the company was valued at just $10.8 million. By February 2, 2026 its market capitalization reached $504.7 million a 46-fold increase in three years.

This wasn’t luck. It came from a clear strategy: enter the four-wheeler segment, partner with the right global player, launch the right vehicles, and build real demand across the country.

The Partnership That Changed Everything

In 2021 Sazgar signed a deal with Great Wall Motors (GWM) of China. Before that, the company mainly made three-wheelers. The GWM partnership gave them access to modern SUVs, hybrid technology, and global standards.

They started local assembly quickly. That lowered prices, created jobs, and made the vehicles feel Pakistani-made rather than expensive imports. Sales took off almost immediately.

The Models That Built the Brand

Sazgar began with the Haval H6 and Haval Jolion. The H6 hybrid version became especially popular because it offered good fuel economy and modern features at a competitive price.

They later added the GWM Poer pickup, the Ora 03 electric car, and more hybrid options. By the end of 2025 Sazgar had produced over 25,000 vehicles. Revenue kept climbing quarter after quarter.

The Tank 500: A Real Confidence Booster

In January 2026, Sazgar launched the locally assembled GWM Tank 500 in both HEV (hybrid) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid) versions.

Prices: PKR 20.5 million for the HEV and PKR 22.5 million for the PHEV. That’s roughly half the price of the earlier fully imported version.

The reaction was immediate. Bookings poured in. Delivery timelines stretched to 6–9 months. Sazgar even started giving a free 7kW charger with every PHEV booking as a thank-you to buyers.

The Tank 500 proved Sazgar could compete at the premium end. Investors noticed. The stock jumped, and the market cap crossed the $500 million mark right after the launch news spread.

Strong Financials Backed the Rise

First-half FY26 revenue reached PKR 67.8 billion, up 52% year-on-year. Profits grew, too. The company paid healthy dividends and kept expanding its dealer network.

The stock itself went from around PKR 48 three years ago to over PKR 2,300 today. Topline Securities and other analysts pointed to the same thing: the GWM partnership and successful model launches were the main drivers.

What This Means for Pakistan

Sazgar’s growth shows local companies can compete when they bring in the right technology and assemble vehicles here. It creates jobs, reduces the import bill, and gives buyers better options especially in the growing hybrid segment.

Competition is increasing. Toyota, Kia, and others are entering hybrids, too. But Sazgar got here first, built a strong brand, and now has real momentum.

Final Thoughts

Going from $10.8 million to $500 million in three years is rare anywhere. Sazgar did it by focusing on partnerships, local production, and vehicles people actually want.

The next few years will be interesting. If they keep delivering quality and expanding the lineup, this could be just the beginning.For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
