PM Electric Bike Scheme
The Government of Pakistan has officially launched the PM Electric Bike Scheme 2026 under the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program (PAVE). This initiative is designed to provide eco-friendly, affordable, and modern transportation to students, workers, women, and low-income families across the country. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know from eligibility criteria to step-by-step registration, financing options, vehicle types, and important dates.
What is the PAVE Program 2026?
The Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program (PAVE) is a government-backed project under the Ministry of Industries and Production, supported by the Engineering Development Board (EDB). It aims to:
- Reduce reliance on imported fuel
- Promote electric vehicles for cleaner air
- Support students, women, delivery riders, and small business owners
- Offer affordable transport through subsidies and easy monthly installments
This initiative marks a major shift toward a greener, more sustainable Pakistan.
PAVE Phase 2 Update
The government has launched Phase 2 of the PAVE program, scrapping the earlier computerized balloting system. Applications are now processed on a first-come-first-served basis, meaning earlier applicants get priority since the vehicle quota is limited and the window will close automatically once it’s filled — no fixed deadline has been announced.
