Let me take you back to my college days in Lahore. I'd wake up at 5 AM, squeeze into a packed van, and still arrive late — all while my wallet cried over Rs. 200 daily petrol. Sound familiar? Now imagine that nightmare ending with a sleek electric bike, subsidized by the government. No more queues, no more fumes — just you, zipping through traffic like a boss.
That's the CM Punjab Bike Scheme 2025-26 in action. Launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, this isn't just a handout — it's a smart fix for Punjab's 5 million students battling transport woes. 30,000 subsidized bikes (petrol or eco-electric), zero interest, and easy 2-year installments. With 50% quota for women and rural focus, it's designed for you — the daily commuter turning heads.
Phase 3 kicks off June 2026, closing Sept 30 — but spots fill fast. Last phase? 20,000 gone in 3 months. Ready to claim yours? Let's break it down, no fluff.
Who Rides Free? Your 2025-26 Eligibility Roadmap
This scheme's got a no-BS filter — it's for Punjab's everyday heroes, not the elite. Think of it like a VIP list for students who actually need wheels to chase dreams.
You're In If:
- Punjab domicile (any district — no favorites)
- Aged 18–35 (prime student/youth years)
- Full-time student in Punjab college/university
- Valid driver's license (or learner's permit)
- No previous govt bike (one per person)
By the way — 50% women quota means if you're a female student battling daily commutes, you're golden. Last year, 8,000 girls got bikes — turning "impossible" into "everyday."
Real story: Noor from Faisalabad, 21, rides 15km to GC University. Petrol ate her pocket money. She applied, won the ballot, and now her e-bike saves Rs. 2,500/month. "I arrive early, alert, and ready to learn," she says. "It's not just a bike — it's freedom."
What's Your New Ride? (Rs. 50K Off + Zero Interest)
No rickety hand-me-downs. These are factory-fresh — choose petrol for power or electric for green vibes.
Petrol Bikes
150cc Models (Honda, Yamaha)
E-Bikes
48V Lithium, 80km Range
Subsidy
Rs. 50,000 Off (80% for low-income)
Installments

Honest take: Electric? Silent, cheap to charge (Rs. 50/full). Petrol? Raw power for highways. Both come with 1-year warranty and free service.
