Sindh expands Pink Electric Scooty Scheme to Mirpurkhas

The Sindh government is set to expand its Pink Electric Scooty Scheme to Mirpurkhas during the next phase of its women’s mobility programme.

Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the plan, highlighting the growing response to the initiative.

He said more than 50,000 women have applied for the Pink Electric Scooty and training programme so far. The strong response shows that many women are interested in having better and more independent transportation options.

Pink Electric Scooties coming to Mirpurkhas

The government plans to include Mirpurkhas in the next phase of the programme. Women in the district will be able to benefit from the initiative as the government expands the scheme to more parts of Sindh.

The programme is aimed at improving women’s mobility and giving them easier access to education, employment and other daily activities. The government also sees the scheme as a way to provide women with safer and more dignified transportation options.

Over 50,000 women apply for programme

Memon said more than 50,000 women have registered for the Pink Electric Scooty and training programme. The strong response suggests that many women are looking for affordable transportation that can help them travel independently.

Personal transport can make it easier for women to reach workplaces, educational institutions and other important destinations. The government plans to continue expanding the programme as more women seek to benefit from the initiative.

More than 2,000 women receive training

The Sindh government has already provided driving and related training to more than 2,000 women.

Training sessions are continuing in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas and Shaheed Benazirabad.

The training is intended to help women learn safe scooter riding and become more confident on the roads.

Officials aim to train more women as the programme expands to additional areas. Safe driving skills are an important part of the initiative, as the programme focuses not only on providing scooters but also on helping women use them responsibly.

Free scooters distributed to women

Memon said the government allocated 925 scooters in the first phase and 476 scooters in the second phase.

So far, more than 810 scooters have been distributed free of cost to women, according to the minister.

Of these, 410 scooters have been distributed in Karachi, while 200 were given to women in Sukkur and another 200 in Hyderabad.

The distribution is part of the government’s broader effort to improve women’s access to personal transportation.

Training continues across Sindh

Driving and related training sessions are continuing in several districts.

Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas and Shaheed Benazirabad are among the areas where training is being provided.

The sessions are aimed at preparing women to ride scooters safely and confidently. The government wants more women to gain the skills needed to use two-wheelers for their daily travel.

Scheme aims to improve women’s mobility

The Pink Electric Scooty Scheme is aimed at addressing transportation difficulties faced by women. Reliable personal transport can help women travel more easily for work, education and other activities.

The government says the programme will also support women’s participation in economic and social activities. Greater mobility can allow women to reach more opportunities without depending entirely on family members or public transport.

Programme to expand to more areas

The Sindh government plans to take the Pink Electric Scooty Scheme to more areas of the province. Mirpurkhas is the latest district identified for the next phase of scooter distribution.

Further expansion could give more women access to personal transportation and driving training. The government is also expected to continue assessing applications and training requirements as the programme grows.

Focus on safer transportation

The initiative also places emphasis on providing women with safer and more dignified ways to travel. Along with scooter distribution, driving training can help participants understand road safety and improve their confidence.

The government’s approach combines access to transportation with the skills needed to use the scooters safely. This could make the programme more useful for women who have limited access to private transport.
