The Electric Scooter and Rickshaw Scheme Punjab 2025 is a multi-faceted approach to sustainable transportation, through the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme for students (which includes electric scooters & bikes) and the E-Rickshaw Scheme for low-income drivers.
Started by CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif, these initiatives will empower youth, women & rural people while promoting environmental sustainability & economic relief. These schemes are part of Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program (PAVE) & are in line with national initiatives like New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025-30.
Electric Scooter and Rickshaw Scheme Overview
This scheme is for affordable electric vehicles for the people of Punjab, focusing on scooters/bikes for students & rickshaws for drivers. The E-Bike Scheme provides electric bikes (including scooter-like models) to enrolled students with a 2.6 billion subsidy. At the same time, the E-Rickshaw Scheme offers loans for battery rickshaws to low-income Punjabi people.
Both are promoting green energy, job creation & financial inclusion. The E-Taxi Scheme may overlap with rickshaws. As of September 20, 2025, applications are open for different phases. The first phase will distribute 40,000 e-bikes & 1,000 e-rickshaws across the country, including Punjab.
