In 2024, BYD reported an impressive revenue of 777.1 billion yuan ($107.2 billion / PKR 29.9 trillion), surpassing Tesla’s $97.7 billion (PKR 27.3 trillion).
Beyond revenue, BYD’s net profit soared to 40.3 billion yuan ($5.5 billion / PKR 1.53 trillion), demonstrating the company's strong financial performance. Sales figures also tell a compelling story: BYD sold 4.3 million vehicles in 2024, with a remarkable 161% increase in February sales alone.
