One of our reporters was out and about in Pakistan's largest city today to find out what's brewing in the printing market in the lead up to the elections and it turns out that the printers are making good business thanks to a higher demand from political parties this time around than in 2013.
The PTI seems to be leading the charge in a city where traditionally it has been the MQM with most visibility on the streets:
Owner of Decent Printer at Al-Karam Square, Mohammad Dawood Khan said orders from the PTI have risen sharply than the 2013 election while the PPP and the PSP come at second and third places respectively.
In anticipation of earning decent money, some people entered this business a few months back.
Owner of Mushtaq Brothers at Al-Karam Square, Mushtaq Khan, told Dawn:
“People have invested by bringing in new panaflex machines mostly from China costing Rs2.7 to Rs2.8 million per machine.”
