Abdul Razak Dawood has tweeted, “I have been informed that Samsung Electronics is in the process of establishing their TV line-up plant in collaboration with the R&R Industries at Karachi”.
Outcomes of the Local Plant
Abdul Razak, Ministry of Commerce, also added about the policy of Make-in-Pakistan. This is an initiative that promotes multinational companies to operate in Pakistan. This step will instigate industrialization in Pakistan. There are further chances about the affordable prices because of low input costs. Samsung has already set up the production unit for mobile units in Pakistan.
Now, Samsung TV Plant in Pakistan is a step forward to industrialization. It will help local business, lower our imports, and might add to our imports. The production of Samsung TV in Pakistan will help to maintain the current account and increase the market value of Pakistan.
MOC states, “The desired result will be a balanced current account, enabling Pakistan to regain its financial sovereignty.”
Along with Samsung, other mobile phone companies like Oppo, Vivo, Techno, Infinix, Itel, and Realme. According to a report of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, the local production of mobile phones is worth Rs. 12.27 million from January to July 2021. We can expect the same from the production of Samsung TV.
