ISLAMABAD – Bikes and car prices are already at all time high, with cheapest petrol bike starting at Rs1.60Lac. On top of soaring prices, getting a new car or motorcycle in Punjab could soon become more expensive as the provincial government moves to make changes to vehicle registration system by making registration mandatory before delivery from the showroom. Authorities say Motor Registration Authorities across Punjab have already been directed to register dealerships under the Dealer Vehicle Registration System (DVRS). Of these, 96 licences belong to motorcycle dealers, while just six have been issued to car dealerships, highlighting the limited reach of showroom-based registration. The government now plans to expand the system by bringing all vehicle dealerships into the registration network, promising a faster, more transparent and hassle-free process for buyers.
