PM Electric Bike & Scooter Scheme September 2025
Pakistan is stepping into a new era of transportation with the launch of the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–30. This initiative, led by the Government of Pakistan and the Engineering Development Board (EDB), is a big move toward greener mobility, cost savings, and reducing dependency on fuel imports.
The policy has been designed to promote the use of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and small commercial vehicles. It aims to make electric motorcycles, scooters, and rickshaws accessible to the common people by offering subsidies, financing options, and large-scale deployment across the country.

Under this program, the government will:
- Provide subsidies on electric bikes and scooters.
