ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has authorized Lucky Motor Corporation Limited to manufacture Samsung mobile devices in Pakistan, the country’s telecom regulator announced on Tuesday.
“The company had applied for authorization to set up mobile device manufacturing plant in Karachi … where it will manufacture Samsung brand mobile devices,” the PTA said in an official statement.
“The authorization to manufacture Samsung Mobile devices in Pakistan is a landmark achievement and will further revolutionize the vibrant mobile manufacturing ecosystem in the country by ensuring presence of major local and foreign players in the market,” it added.
The PTA said mobile manufacturing on a massive level in Pakistan had become possible due to the conducive policy environment provided by the government under its “digital Pakistan” initiative.
It added the regulatory authority had so far authorized 25 international and local companies to produce 2G, 3G and 4G mobile phones in Pakistan.
These handsets would not only be sold in the country but also exported to other competitive markets in the region and beyond.
“The device manufacturing plants shall be instrumental in creating new job opportunities as well as enabling affordability of mobile devices for Pakistani users,” the PTA added.

Pakistanis among six injured by debris in Abu Dhabi as UAE intercepts drones
- Iran launched drone attacks and missiles at Gulf nations, including UAE, since Saturday after it was attacked by US and Israel
- Minor injuries reported among six Pakistani, Nepalese nationals in two locations across Industrial City of Abu Dhabi Phase 2
ISLAMABAD: Six people were injured by falling debris in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, among them Pakistani nationals, after the UAE’s air defense system intercepted drones, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a statement.
Iran has launched a barrage of missiles and drone attacks at the UAE and other Gulf countries to target facilities hosting US troops since Saturday. The attacks come in response to coordinated strikes by the US and Israel against Iran last week after months of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office, in a post on social media platform X, said authorities responded to an incident of debris falling in two locations across the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi Phase 2 (ICAD II) “following the successful interception of drones by air defense systems.”
“The incident resulted in minor and moderate injuries to six Pakistani and Nepali nationals,” the statement said.
The statement did not mention how many Pakistani nationals out of the six were injured in the attack.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office urged the public to seek information from only government sources and avoid spreading rumors or unverified information.
Pakistan has asked its citizens in Gulf states to exercise caution, avoid travel and strictly follow official adviseries ever since tensions escalated in the region on Saturday.
The UAE is home to over 1.5 million Pakistani expatriates, one of the largest communities of overseas Pakistanis worldwide.
Pakistan has condemned the US and Israel’s attacks on Iran but also criticized Tehran’s attacks that have targeted countries in the Gulf region, advising all parties to exercise restraint.
