Why E-Bikes? The Green Punjab Vision

The Maryam Nawaz E-Bike Scheme directly supports Punjab’s Climate Action & Green Energy Plan 2026.

Electric bikes help:

  • Reduce carbon emissions
  • Cut down fuel costs
  • Lower noise pollution
  • Promote sustainable mobility

This transition aligns with Pakistan’s global climate commitments and the push for electric vehicle adoption under the EV Policy 2030.

Empowering Female Students and Working Women

One of the highlights of this scheme is mobility for women.
In many cities like Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Multan, public transport is often unreliable or unsafe for female commuters.

With 60% of the e-bikes reserved for girls and women, CM Maryam Nawaz’s initiative directly tackles the mobility gap, helping women:

  • Travel safely to universities and workplaces
  • Save daily travel expenses
  • Gain confidence and independence

“Every daughter of Punjab deserves safety, respect, and opportunity to study without fear or financial burden,” said CM Maryam Nawaz during the launch.

Integrated with CM Punjab Honhar Scholarship Program

The E-Bike Scheme is closely linked with the CM Punjab Honhar Scholarship Program 2026, which now offers 50,000 annual scholarships (up from 30,000 previously).

Together, these initiatives ensure:

  • Financial assistance + Mobility support
  • Equal opportunity for students from rural and urban Punjab
  • Stronger access to STEM fields like AI, robotics, and cybersecurity

Students benefiting from Honhar Scholarships are prioritized for the E-Bike distribution, encouraging educational continuity and punctuality.

Additional Support: Youth Loan Scheme 2026

To complement the E-Bike program, CM Maryam Nawaz has launched the Punjab Youth Loan Scheme.

Key Features:

  • Loans up to Rs. 3 crore
  • For students, startups, and young entrepreneurs
  • Low-interest, flexible repayment
  • Designed to boost self-employment and digital businesses

By combining e-bikes, scholarships, and loans, Punjab is building a complete youth empowerment ecosystem.
