New condition for car import / import under the condition of lack of production!

According to Tejarat News, in his latest statement, the head of the Commission on Article 90 of the Constitution said Car import It is conditional on the fact that domestic car manufacturers cannot meet the needs of the people.

Another noteworthy point that Nasraleh Pejmanfar emphasized is that bringing up the issue of car imports is only a push for car manufacturers to improve the quality of their cars!

A statement that can be taken as saying that there is no news of car imports. In fact, all this fuss and speculation is only for car manufacturers to feel threatened and want to raise the quality of their cars.

Do car manufacturers feel threatened?

It is not yet clear whether this statement is the personal opinion of this member of parliament or whether it can be considered as the position of the parliament. But if we are going to investigate Pejmanfar’s statements, we should first see whether the number of imported cars is occupying the Iranian market? In other words, it might make automakers feel threatened?

The car import regulations have not yet been unveiled. But the initial statements show that the import limit is only one billion dollars and the price of imported cars is 10,000 and 20,000 dollars. With this ceiling, in the best case, about 60,000 cars can be imported. This amount is equivalent to one month’s production of one of the domestic car manufacturers. The important point is that the import of this number of cars does not affect the market and cannot balance supply and demand.

Car production is low so that imports are certain?

But the second point in this comment is the condition of this member of parliament for imports. Importing foreign cars is conditional on domestic car manufacturers not being able to meet people’s needs.

One of the most important reasons for the increase in car prices in the market is the imbalance in the market. That the demand for buying cars has exceeded the supply. Car manufacturers produce a limited number of cars, which they sell to people based on a lottery, and because the market demand is not met, factory cars enter the open market at a very high price, and there are many customers to buy cars.

So, if the condition for car import is the lack of products in the country and the inability of car manufacturers to meet the market’s needs, then the import should definitely be done.

According to the first condition that this representative said, the car must be imported, but if the goal is to push the car manufacturer, the import of 60,000 domestic cars cannot push the car manufacturers and force them to improve the quality.
