However, the firm’s owner, Javed Afridi, claimed in a tweet that the vehicle was “Made in Pakistan MG EV,” implying that the company is manufacturing the vehicle in Pakistan, however, the video clip in question was taken from the Morris Garages Indian Company.
“It was a brief video clip showing the construction of an MG ZS EV in Pakistan, but there was something wrong about it that prompted me to look into it more on the internet. I spotted the identical video on the Morris Garages India YouTube channel a minute later “According to a renowned Pakistani website.
In truth, the movie is about the local assembly of the first MG ZS EV in India, and the building depicted in the video is in fact an MG factory in the Indian state of Gujrat, the company explained.
Javed Afridi, a representative of a well-known automobile manufacturer in Pakistan with a social media following of more than 3 million people, posted a video taken from another source on his page.

The MG local assembly plant in Pakistan is now under construction, and customers will be able to purchase MG complete knockdown automobiles in the near future. However, posting a video of an overseas manufacturing facility, particularly one in India, with the tagline “Made in Pakistan” is completely improper, dishonest, and immoral.
Since its entry into the Pakistani market, MG Pakistan has reportedly faced a number of scandals. Stunts and gaffes of this nature will only serve to generate concerns and suspicions in the eyes of the public, thereby undermining the MG’s name.
In the wake of their under-invoicing scandal and questionable after-sales service and support, the corporation has already become the topic of heated criticism.
A dispute between MG Motors Pakistan and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) over tax issues and customs taxes resulted in the seizure of approximately 816 MG SUV vehicles at the Karachi port a few months ago.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) stated that MG Motors was importing vehicles into Pakistan via under-invoicing. It had sent the subject to the Post Clearance Audit department for further examination. MG Motors has denied the allegations.
Later, the Sindh High Court ordered the corporation to pay the full amount of customs duty and other fees in order to clear 816 MG SUVs parked at the port.
