Electric Bike Scheme 2026: Check eligibility and application process
The Punjab government has launched the Electric Bike Scheme 2026, giving eligible students an opportunity to own an electric motorcycle through an interest-free instalment plan.
Under the scheme, students can purchase an electric bike by making a Rs15,000 down payment, followed by monthly instalments of around Rs2,000, making the programme more affordable for students.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced the initiative during a ceremony in Arifwala, where she also unveiled several education reforms, including the establishment of Nawaz Sharif Schools of Eminence in every tehsil.
The chief minister said the government is also modernising public schools and establishing artificial intelligence (AI) laboratories across Punjab to improve the quality of education.

- The applicant must hold a valid Punjab domicile.
