In a powerful move toward a greener and more affordable future, the Federal Government of Pakistan is preparing to launch the Electric Bike Scheme 2025, expected to be formally inaugurated by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on August 14, during the Independence Day celebrations. The initiative aims to reduce fuel dependency, fight climate change, and provide cost-effective transportation to the masses.
Why the E-Bike Scheme Matters
With rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, the government’s shift towards electric mobility is a much-needed step. The E-Bike Scheme not only supports sustainable transport but also offers financial relief to thousands of Pakistanis, especially students, low-income earners, and delivery workers.
Government Subsidy and Budget Allocation
The government has allocated a budget of Rs. 9 billion for the scheme in the current fiscal year. Each electric bike will come with a direct subsidy of Rs. 65,000, significantly reducing its upfront cost.
To make the scheme even more accessible, the remaining amount will be financed through interest-free bank loans, which can be paid back in easy monthly installments. This removes the financial barrier for individuals who otherwise cannot afford a new vehicle.
Easy Online Registration & Balloting Process
Citizens who wish to apply for the electric bike can do so through an online registration portal. The process is being designed to be simple, transparent, and user-friendly. In case the number of applicants is higher than the number of available e-bikes, a balloting system will be used to ensure fair selection.
The online application system will help avoid long queues and physical paperwork, making it efficient for everyone—especially the youth.
Vision for a Clean, Electric Pakistan
The E-Bike Scheme 2025 is just one part of the federal government’s larger electric vehicle (EV) roadmap. The goal is to have 2 million electric bikes on the roads by 2030.
In addition to electric bikes, the government also plans to introduce:
-
53,950 electric rickshaws
-
99,155 electric cars
-
2,238 electric buses
-
2,996 electric trucks
This plan reflects a strong commitment to modernize Pakistan’s transport sector while reducing environmental damage and improving air quality.
