PM Electric Bike Scheme 2025-26: PAVE Program for Eco-Friendly Mobility
The PM Electric Bike & Rickshaw Scheme 2025-26, part of the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) Program under the New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025-30, promotes electric vehicles to cut fuel imports (Rs. 2.5 trillion/year) and emissions.

Targeting youth, students, and low-income commuters, it reduces monthly fuel costs (Rs. 2,000–3,000) while creating EV jobs. Phase 1 deadline Sep 30, 2025 closed; distribution 2025-26. Phase 2: Jan 1–Sep 30, 2026.
