Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) has kicked off the 2026 fiscal year with a strong start, reporting a profit of Rs 6.7 billion for Q1 FY26 — a 32% year-on-year jump from Rs 5.09 billion in the same quarter last year. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) rose to Rs 85.49, reflecting robust growth despite a challenging economic environment.

According to financial data released on October 28, 2025, IMC achieved a gross margin of 17.1%, up from 13.4% a year earlier. This performance was largely fueled by the strong demand for Toyota Corolla variants, including the Toyota Corolla Altis, Corolla 1.8, and Corolla GLI, some of the most popular models in Pakistan’s sedan category.

Toyota Corolla Continues To Dominate Pakistan’s Roads

Despite higher car prices in Pakistan, the Toyota Corolla remains a trusted choice among buyers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Sales of Toyota variants jumped 61% year-on-year, with 9,889 units sold in the quarter, driving IMC’s net sales to Rs 61.7 billion, a 48% increase from last year.

Industry analysts credit this success to IMC’s focus on cost efficiency, local assembly, and brand reliability. For Pakistan’s middle-class car buyers, models like the Toyota Corolla Altis and Corolla GLI continue to offer resale value, availability of spare parts, and long-term durability, three key decision factors in a market still adjusting to inflation and import restrictions.

Impact On Pakistan’s Used Car Market

This profit surge doesn’t just benefit Toyota; it shapes the entire auto ecosystem. As new Toyota Corolla cars flood the market, older models often transition into the used car segment, where platforms like Car Advisers become essential.

Car Advisers provides services to make car buying and selling easier:

Car Inspection – 220-point pre-purchase check for complete peace of mind.

Looking Ahead

Indus Motor’s performance shows that despite tough conditions, Pakistan’s automotive industry still offers growth opportunities. A dividend of Rs 51 per share further highlights investor confidence. However, high interest rates, fluctuating demand, and currency pressures could impact upcoming quarters.

For consumers, the takeaway is clear: Toyota remains a reliable name, but smart car buying now depends on transparency, inspection, and verified documentation — all of which Car Advisers provides across Pakistan.
