The federal government will distribute free electric bikes to outstanding students from all educational boards in Pakistan, including the Federal Board.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also announced that the federal government will distribute electric rickshaws and loaders to unemployed individuals across Pakistan. This move is part of a wider initiative aimed at promoting employment opportunities and encouraging environmentally sustainable transportation solutions.

Focus on Green Mobility and Economic Uplift

While chairing a high-level meeting to review the government’s electric mobility support program, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif highlighted the long-term economic and environmental advantages of electric vehicles (EVs). He stated that transitioning to EVs would help reduce Pakistan’s reliance on imported fuel, saving billions in foreign exchange. Additionally, the move would support environmental protection efforts and provide a significant boost to the local manufacturing industry.

Support for Students and Low-Income Groups

The government will also provide electric bikes to top-performing students from educational boards across the country. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized that all support schemes must prioritize economically disadvantaged groups and be implemented through transparent and fair distribution processes.

The prime minister instructed relevant departments to create a comprehensive ecosystem for the production and maintenance of EVs. He called for third-party validation of the vehicle distribution methods and urged authorities to launch an awareness campaign to educate the public about the government’s electric vehicle assistance programs.

Next Steps

Federal agencies, including the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), will work together to develop a comprehensive roadmap for implementing these initiatives. The scheme is seen as a major step toward promoting green mobility and providing inclusive economic support across Pakistan.
