🚕 What is the Punjab E-Taxi Scheme?
The Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025 is a government-backed electric vehicle (EV) program offering eco-friendly e-bikes and e-rickshaws to unemployed individuals across Punjab. With zero fuel costs, low maintenance, and affordable monthly installments, this scheme is designed to:
-
Create self-employment opportunities
-
Support a clean environment
-
Promote female mobility and inclusion
📌 Organized by: Punjab Transport Company (PTC)
🏦 In partnership with: Bank of Punjab (BOP)

🌱 Why This Scheme Matters in 2025
1️⃣ Economic Empowerment
Unemployed youth (ages 18–45) can now start their own bike taxi or rickshaw service with easy installment plans. It’s a low-investment, high-return opportunity.
2️⃣ Green Punjab Vision
Air quality in cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, and Rawalpindi has hit critical levels. Switching to electric vehicles will reduce emissions and help fight urban smog.
3️⃣ Affordable Transport Revolution
Electric vehicles cost far less to operate than petrol alternatives, offering real relief amid rising fuel prices.
