Pakistan’s venture into sustainable and affordable mobility has taken an important step with the establishment of the Prime Minister’s Electric Bike Scheme. The scheme is a response to the rising price of fuels, is a solution to various environmental issues, and is a good source of transport for daily mobility with sustainable means in the form of an e-bike, as a good option. Through a generous subsidy with interest-free loans, the program aims to provide these environmentally sustainable, operator-oriented commuting solutions to students, women, and the working class.
The scheme was officially launched on 1st September 2025. In an effort to reduce reliance on fuel, take a step towards green transportation, and, perhaps most importantly, ease the financial burden placed on students and the working-class population who commute daily. Startlingly, the e-bike subsidies are to be given to qualifying citizens through loans and interest-free installment plans.
What is the Prime Minister’s E-Bike Scheme 2025?
This scheme is about more than transportation: it represents broader social, economic, and environmental reform. The PM’s scheme represented an effort at the national level to alleviate rising fuel costs, promote cleaner energy use, and offer empowerment to socially marginalized groups, specifically low-income individuals, students, and women.
The plan aimed to promote social equity and lessen carbon emissions across Pakistan by aiming to accelerate the transition to more electric vehicles on local streets and roads in Pakistan. The scheme aims to place two million e-bikes on the road by 2030.
Several issues compelled the government to implement this scheme: the ongoing rise in petrol prices; the effects of traditional fuel-based commuting on air quality; the lack of mobility among students; and, most importantly, the lack of mobility and dependence on traditional fuel modes of transport for women and overall access to transportation.
Additionally, this emerging program aligns with the Government of Pakistan’s efforts to promote greener transitions, to discourage dependence on imported fuels, and, more generally, to grow the local EV sector and market. This subsidy scheme will align with the government’s stated long-term plan, aligned with the national New.
What Does the Federal Government E-Bike Scheme Offer? 
The goal of the Pakistan E-Bike Scheme 2025 is clear: to provide students with an affordable and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Introduced in the Pakistan Budget 2025-26, the scheme offers 27,000 bikes, specifically for students from all districts of the province. Here’s a breakdown of the Pakistan bike scheme:
| Registration Mode | Online |
| Launch Date | 1st September 2025 |
| Last Day of Registration | 30th September 2025 |
| Eligibility | Open to all Pakistani citizens |
| Age Limit | 18 to 65 |
| Number of Electric Bikes | 116,000 (in phase 1) |
Financial Structure
To make e-bikes affordable, the government is providing a subsidy of up to Rs 50,000 and interest-free loans of up to Rs 200,000, repayable over two years. Monthly installments will range from Rs 6,250 to Rs 8,333, depending on the e-bike model and bank terms. The interest will be paid by the government, making the scheme accessible for individuals who cannot afford to pay up front.
This means buyers will only pay an easy monthly payment between Rs 6,250 to Rs 8,333, depending on the bike, bank, and terms. Also, the government will pay for all of the interest costs, so the applicants will only pay the principal amount. This structure is supposed to help alleviate financial worries and promote wider access to clean and efficient transportation.
Who is Eligible for the Scheme?
The Pakistan E-Bike Scheme operates under strict eligibility criteria, and not all students will meet these requirements.
- Age: Applicants have to be aged 18 – 65.
- Area of Residence: Applicants have to be residents of Pakistan.
- Valid License: The applicant must hold a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license.
- Not already a beneficiary of a similar government scheme.
One of the most encouraging aspects of the Federal Government Electric Bike Scheme 2025, in addition to its huge scope, is the number of people it is targeting:
Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs
The scheme also targets young professionals and entrepreneurs as an eco-friendly way of commuting to work. The government also aims to maximize the number of green workers through an accessible electric bike scheme.
Students
As part of Pakistan’s federal electric bike scheme, eligible students will get a free electric bike. This program aims to encourage young people to transition from motorcycles to eco-friendly electric bikes, providing a sustainable, cost-effective way to commute. Primarily, the program is suited to urban students, who require easy, affordable travel options.
Females
A key feature of the program is the female quota, which guarantees each female student or working professional one electric bike. The goal is to empower women with accessible and affordable transportation options for commuting purposes.
Special Quotas and Inclusivity
The program has a 25% female quota, a significant number of bikes assigned for students, and 10% of bikes for applicants from Balochistan. The scheme is also targeted at lower-income earners, daily wage earners, and delivery riders, so it is made available for those who need it the most.
