Proton Pakistan, a subsidiary of the Al-Haj Group responsible for marketing the Malaysian car brand Proton, is embroiled in a significant financial controversy after failing to deliver vehicles for which customers had paid approximately Rs890 million in bookings. As reported by The Express Tribune and Profit by Pakistan Today, the company has only refunded Rs300 million, leaving nearly Rs600 million still outstanding. This situation has prompted intervention from government officials, including Haroon Akhtar Khan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Industries and Production, and the new CEO of the Engineering Development Board (EDB). They have urged Proton Pakistan to either fulfill the vehicle deliveries or refund the remaining amounts. The Tribune notes that the automaker has assured authorities that the remaining funds will be repaid, although no timeline has been provided for this resolution.
