Pakistan has introduced a new draft policy aimed at promoting local manufacturing of mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices.
The Mobile and Electronics Device Manufacturing Policy 2026-2030 is designed to strengthen domestic production, increase exports, and create job opportunities across the country.
Under the plan, the government aims to produce 50% of mobile phone components locally within the next five to eight years. In addition, exports of locally made electronics are expected to reach $700 million.
The policy also targets producing 30% of components for laptops, tablets, and point-of-sale (POS) machines within Pakistan.
A key focus of the policy is skill development. Around 50,000 workers will be trained to meet the growing demand for skilled labor in the electronics and technology sector.
By investing in workforce development, Pakistan hopes to support the expansion of its manufacturing base while improving the quality of locally produced products.
The policy is also expected to reduce production costs, attract both domestic and foreign investment, and encourage the growth of related industries such as packaging, logistics, and quality testing.
By creating a more complete electronics ecosystem, Pakistan aims to strengthen its position in the regional and global electronics market.
Officials say the draft policy marks an important step toward self-reliance in electronics manufacturing and could transform the industry into a major contributor to Pakistan’s economy.
With proper implementation, the initiative is likely to bring more investment, technology, and employment opportunities to the country.
