The CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme 2026, officially the CM Punjab Green Initiative E-Bikes Scheme, has been launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for students, teachers and junior government employees across Punjab. It aims to provide affordable, eco-friendly transport so that students and employees can travel to their institutions and workplaces without depending on expensive private transport.
Please read this point carefully: this is not a free bike giveaway. It is a subsidised financing programme. The Government of Punjab pays the bank markup, so applicants get an interest-free loan through the Bank of Punjab, which handles disbursement, verification and monthly instalment collection. A petrol-bike option also exists. An applicant can apply for electric OR petrol, not both.

Cost and Monthly Instalments
Guides report electric-bike instalments of roughly Rs. 2,000–3,000 per month, and a government subsidy of Rs. 70,000 per e-bike is reported in some guides. Both figures are reported figures, not official confirmed amounts. The exact instalment and subsidy for your chosen model must be confirmed on the official portal, because figures can change between phases.
