The federal government has unveiled a major initiative to promote eco-friendly transportation in Pakistan by announcing the distribution of 40,000 subsidized electric bikes (e-bikes) for the general public. This move is part of the government’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions, promote sustainable mobility, and address the growing concerns about air pollution and traffic congestion.
Under the scheme, eligible citizens will be able to purchase e-bikes at a subsidized rate, significantly reducing the cost of transitioning to green transportation. The initiative is expected to benefit urban commuters, students, and daily wage workers, providing them with an affordable and environmentally friendly mode of transport.
The government has also assured that the e-bikes will be available in various models, catering to different needs and preferences. Local manufacturers are expected to collaborate with the government to ensure the production and timely delivery of the bikes.
Officials emphasized that the program aims to make electric bikes more accessible and affordable, thereby contributing to the government’s broader vision of promoting electric vehicles (EVs) across the country.
Citizens can apply for the program through the designated online portal, with more details about eligibility criteria and application procedures expected to be released soon.
This initiative is seen as a crucial step towards a greener and more sustainable future for Pakistan, particularly as the country faces increasing pollution and fuel shortages.
