The Punjab government has finalized its plan to provide electric bikes to students of colleges and universities, a local media outlet reported.
According to Urdu News, citing government documents, the government of Punjab will provide electric bikes to university and college students. Additionally, financial assistance for this program will be provided by the Bank of Punjab.
The Provincial Minister for Planning and Development Bilal Afazal stated that a proposal has been prepared, which will be sent to caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi for his approval. However, the decision regarding discounts on electric bikes has not been made yet.
As per Provincial Secretary Transport Javed Qazi, they have completed their preparations regarding the electric bike manufacturers and their prices. He added that students will have to submit online applications and a draw will be held to ensure transparency.
Moreover, institutes of the selected students will be taken on board to provide guarantee on their behalf.
The official revealed that electric bikes will be provided at extremely low interest rates. Most importantly, students will have the option to return the bike after completing their education and get their money back according to the price at that time.
The Punjab government is gearing up to launch electric motorbikes through green financing. The Bank of Punjab is categorizing this scheme as a soft loan, offering an interest rate of up to 6%.
Bilal Afzal claimed that the scheme will be launched in January following the approval of the provincial cabinet.
Someone is opening an electric bike dealership and they found an easy way to force sell thier entire investment for quick profit.

A step towards smog reduction
That is a good step of government of Punjab for students.
Good step bt the most why the gvt not providing solar system to all homes
for a person who govt employee and student what’s process , is he eligible ?
First they launch Chen che bike Rikshaw when more people stated it as their earning source now they banned it as there would be another minister investing in e scooters
All electric bikes are expensive. No matter how much discounted interest rate they may offer. It will still have high instalment not suitable to a student.

There are almost 50% female students and cultural norms do not allow them to ride a bike. There must be some alternatives for them.
In addition there is a huge unrecognized segment of youths who are using bikes as delivery riders etc. those can also be considered
I think these stupid culture norms need to be changed now who are hindering women and girls to have a fair share in free life
Good decision for the Punjab students
When will application start.
Amazing and wonderful scheme
Ching chi rickshaw owners and general public may also be facilitated to overcome smog in Lahore
