Pakistan has launched the New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025-30 to promote electric transportation, cut fuel expenses, create a cleaner environment, and provide modern, affordable travel solutions. The PM Electric Bike and Rikshaw Scheme 2025 is open for new applications starting September 1, 2025. The scheme requires a driving license for driving, but can be applied without a license.
The website pave.gov.pk offers a registration form for individuals to sign up for their services.
Applicants are required to provide their complete name as per CNIC along with the CNIC number, issuance date, and expiry date (or mark as lifetime validity). Personal details including father’s or husband’s name, mother’s name, date of birth, and gender must be entered accurately. Contact information such as a valid email address and active mobile number is mandatory, followed by the applicant’s current residential address with province, district, tehsil or city, and the nearest major city.
If the permanent address is the same, it may be marked accordingly; otherwise, the full permanent address details should be provided separately. Applicants are also asked to declare whether they currently own a vehicle, if they have previously availed a loan, and to mention their NTN if applicable. Finally, for account security, a password must be created and confirmed before submission of the form.
Starting 2025-26, Pakistan’s government will provide 40,000 electric motorcycles, 1,000 electric rickshaws, and 1,000 electric three-wheelers through a computer lucky draw. The scheme aims to support clean energy in the country, benefiting families, workers, students, and small business owners. Applications are open on pave.gov.pk.
