In a bold initiative to support student mobility and promote green transportation, the Chief Minister has officially launched the Electric and Petrol Bike Distribution Program 2025 for selected students across the province. The scheme, which kicked off this June, aims to provide both electric bikes (E-bikes) and fuel-powered motorcycles to deserving students under a subsidized installment plan, making daily commuting more affordable, efficient, and environmentally conscious.
This visionary step comes in response to growing demands from students struggling with rising transportation costs and the challenges of accessing educational institutions, particularly in rural and underdeveloped areas.
A Student-Focused Initiative
The program targets students from public universities, colleges, and technical institutes, with a focus on those coming from low-income backgrounds. Under the supervision of the provincial education and transport departments, students have been shortlisted through an online application and verification process that evaluated academic enrollment, financial status, and commuting needs.

Two Categories of Bike Distribution
- Electric Bikes (E-Bikes)
These zero-emission, battery powered Bike Distribution to students who live in urban areas where charging infrastructure is more readily available. E-bikes are cost-efficient, require minimal maintenance, and support the government’s climate goals. - Petrol Bikes Distribution
For students residing in remote or rural areas where electricity access and charging facilities are limited, conventional petrol bikes are offered. These Bike Distribution are reliable for long distance travel and better suited for hilly or uneven terrains.
Subsidy and Installment Plan
The government has partnered with local manufacturers and financial institutions to create a zero-interest or low-interest installment plan:
- Total cost coverage: Up to 80% by the government.
- Monthly installment: As low as Rs. 2,000–2,500, payable over 18 to 24 months.
- No upfront payment for students from the most economically challenged backgrounds.
- Maintenance package included for the first six months after delivery.
