Punjab Govt to Offer 1,100 Interest-free Electric Vehicles Under Green E-Taxi Scheme

CM Punjab has officially launched the CM Punjab Green E-Taxi Scheme 2025, and it’s creating a wave of hope across Punjab. This scheme is specially designed for unemployed youth, women, differently-abled individuals, and low-income families. With interest-free electric taxis, this program is a golden opportunity for anyone wanting to earn a halal income and start a better life.

In a time when jobs are hard to find and fuel prices are rising, this green initiative offers a much-needed solution. Plus, it supports a clean environment by promoting electric vehicles (EVs) instead of petrol-based taxis. This is not just a transport project, it’s a complete economic uplift plan with 0% markup, government subsidy, and easy 5-year installments.

What is the Green E-Taxi Program?

The Green E-Taxi Program is a visionary step by the Punjab Government, where electric vehicles will be given to eligible residents of Punjab through interest-free loans. The Bank of Punjab will handle financing, and the government will provide equity support and registration fee subsidies. In the first phase, 1,100 electric taxis will be distributed in Lahore, and later extended to Multan, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and other cities. The scheme not only supports green transport but also focuses on job creation, women empowerment, and poverty reduction.
