RAWALPINDI, May 2: The Engineering Development Board was actively working on establishment of two auto clusters at Sheikhupura and Karachi, under Auto Industry Development Plan.

A spokesman for the EDB announced on Friday that a sub-committee on auto cluster development has been formed to overview the progress. The stakeholders, however, have proposed to increase the number of these clusters.

The sites of Lahore, Hub, Dera Ghazi Khan, Gujranwala and Sialkot have been suggested by them, he said. The first auto cluster is taking shape at Karachi with allocation of plots. The second cluster will be established at Sheikhupura, close to the motorway. Its location will be finalised shortly, he further said.
