Journey of Dreams
About the Cover
In 1962, a visionary dream took root in Pakistan, a dream carried by our late Chairman, whose foresight and passion sowed the seeds of what would become the country's most iconic name in two-wheel mobility: Atlas Honda Limited.
At the heart of this remarkable journey is a powerful partnership: Atlas Group and Honda Motor Company of Japan. This joint venture blends Pakistani passion with Japanese precision and engineering excellence, a union that has stood the test of time and transformed the local automotive landscape. Over the past six decades, Atlas Honda has not just produced motorcycles; it has fostered economic mobility and become a trusted companion in the lives of customers across generations.
For many in Pakistan, owning a motorcycle is more than a means of transportation; it is a symbol of aspiration, freedom, and pride. And for most, that dream has a name: Hondu! Wkctkcr it's tkc timclcss CD 70, u �ırst motorcyclc for countless young riders, or the powerful CB 150 that commands the roads with authority, Atlas Honda motorcycles are woven into the fabric of everyday dreams. They are the reliable companions of students heading to university, workers commuting to jobs, families exploring
their homeland, and entrepreneurs powering forward on their journey to success. It's the durability, performance, and unmutckcd Pucl cf�ıcicncy oP tkcsc muckincs couplcd witk an extensive nationwide service network that make Atlas Hondu motorcyclcs tkc �ırst ckoicc, tkc trustcd ckoicc, und often, the dream choice for consumers across the country.
Tkis rcport not only rc��ccts u corporutc journcy but ulso celebrates a dream on wheels, one that travels through the diverse and breathtaking landscapes of Pakistan. From the vibrant streets of Lahore to the serene valleys of Swat, from the bustling roads of Karachi to the rugged terrains of Balochistan, from the deserts of Cholistan to the towering peaks of Gilgit-Baltistan, Atlas Honda motorcycles have journeyed through them all.
As Atlas Honda looks ahead, it remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric growth. With a continued focus on localization, technology, and excellence, the Company aims to carry forward the legacy of its late Chairman and continue to be a symbol of trust, reliability, and aspiration.
Journey of Dreams is a story still unfolding - one where every turn of the wheel writes a new chapter in the lives of people Because when you ride a Honda, you don't just ride a motorcycle - you ride a dream.
President / CEO's Message
I am pleased to present the Annual Report 2025 featuring another exceptional year of performance and adherence to the regulatory compliances and sustainability practices. This year marks a historic milestone for us as we have achieved record-breaking results reinforcing our position as a leader in Pakistan's motorcycle industry. Our performance is a testament to the relentless dedication of our team, the trust of our customers, and our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence.
After a period of extreme volatility, the country's economy has gradually stabilised. The State Bank of Pakistan has played a mujor rolc by munuging prudcnt monctury und �ıscul policics tkut kclpcd tumc in��utionury prcssurcs, stubilising tkc exchange rate and neutralising the informal market.

Hcultky ugriculturc cusk��ows, rising urban wages and better than expected remittances have resulted in enhanced liquidity at the household level. Dcmund is outpucing projcctions Por tkc �ırst timc in ncurly three years. I am pleased to convey that we are closing the ycur witk tkc kigkcst sulcs rcvcnuc und pro�ıtubility in our kistory. Tkc tricklc down cfPcct kus bccn u mujor boost Por our parts suppliers and dealers, who are encouraged by the increasing orders and rising footfall. Improvement in year on year sales has no doubt created a positive momentum within our eco-system. The key now is to ensure a sustainable growth path going forward.
With improved economic prospects, the automobile sector is again attracting new investments. Licenses have been issued to new entrants in various segments of the industry with new energy vehicles space particularly buoyant trying to enter the two wheeler segment. As the competitive landscape evolves, our Company is planning to respond with renewed vigour to maintain its leadership status. To continue to attract customers, the company aims to improve productivity, brand equity, product quality, cost competitiveness and the skillset of out associates.
Our approach to sustainability continued to evolve with purpose. During the year, we expanded our renewable energy Pootprint signi�ıcuntly, witk solur cncrgy now uccounting Por u mcuningPul portion oP our powcr nccds. Encrgy cf�ıcicncy, rcsourcc rccycling, und sociul inclusion cfPorts wcrc ulso scaled, underscoring our belief that long-term success must go hand in hand with environmental and social responsibility. Tkcsc cfPorts kuvc bccn rccognizcd oncc uguin by proPcssionul institutions, rcuf�ırming our position us u corporutc lcudcr in sustainable practices. On the front of gender inclusivity, female associates have been hired and trained to assemble at various production shops. In a country where female mobility remains severely limited, we have introduced programs aiming to break barriers by providing women with the skills, con�ıdcncc und truining to ridc two-wkcclcrs indcpcndcntly.
Going forward, we are of the view that EV products will be introduced and continue to co-exist side by side with ICE motorcycles for a foreseeable future. Battery cost, infrastructure availability and range anxiety are major challenges to widespread EV adoption. End to end green ambitions may take a little more time than expected - with power generation needing to shift completely to renewable sources. However, climate change is a reality and de-carbonising is a noble cause. Atlas Honda is thus embracing this vision wholeheartedly. The fact that our stakeholders still expect more from our company is both a challenge and a responsibility we must accept. For the coming years, we will, therefore, re energise and focus on enhancing our production level to pre-crisis levels, expand our product line-up and target new markets for increase in exports.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our partner, Honda Motor, for its continued support and guidance in our journey. I would also like to thank our customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and dealers who supported and contributed to strive for excellence in our journey together. Your continued trust inspires us to aim higher, deliver better, and lead with integrity.
