Mahnoor Bukhari September 7, 2026 Pakistan

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz has approved a monthly instalment of around Rs3,028 for students under the Chief Minister Electric Bike Scheme.

The scheme has been launched for students across Punjab. Students from both public and private educational institutions can get electric bikes at a lower price and with easy instalments.

What is the eligibility criteria?

Around 100,000 students from more than 33,000 schools, colleges and universities across Punjab will be eligible for the scheme.

The original price of an electric bike is Rs199,000. After the government subsidy, students will pay Rs109,000.

How long will the total amount take to pay?

The amount will be paid in 36 monthly instalments of around Rs3,028.

The Punjab government will cover the cost of insurance, markup and registration, so students will not have to pay these additional charges.

The electric bikes will be available in different colours. Pink bikes will also be available for female students.

How to apply?

Online registration for the scheme started on September 5, 2026.

Eligible students can apply through the official portal: click here.

The Punjab government says the scheme aims to provide students, especially female students, with affordable and convenient transport and help them continue their education without travel problems.

The scheme will also support the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles in Punjab.

KP e-bike scheme for women

Previously, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government decided to launch an EV bikes scheme to provide travel facilities to women and promote environment-friendly transport. The provincial cabinet has also approved the scheme.

Several important decisions, including the EV bikes scheme, were approved during a meeting of the provincial cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Sohail Afridi.

In the cabinet meeting, it was decided that under the scheme, electric bikes will be provided to female students of colleges and universities and working women. The Chief Minister said that the first phase of the scheme will be launched very soon and the distribution of bikes will be carried out entirely on merit.
