Payment Structure of Punjab E-Taxi Program Revealed

By Arsalan Khattak | Published Aug 16, 2025 | 1:41 pm

Punjab has moved a step closer to rolling out Pakistan’s first electric taxi service, as the provincial government finalized the financing structure for the project. Although the initiative had been approved earlier this year, the latest plan outlines subsidies, vehicle options, and operational details.

According to the working paper, around 1,100 electric taxis will be introduced in Lahore in the initial phase. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has approved the financing scheme, under which banks will provide up to Rs. 6.5 million in loans for electric vehicles.

The government will bear the interest cost, while buyers will contribute a subsidized down payment. For vehicles priced between Rs. 4 million and Rs. 10 million, the Punjab government will pay Rs. 585,000 on behalf of buyers as part of the down payment, with the remaining cost financed through banks.

Officials said Rs. 2 billion has been allocated for the project, which will initially rely on 1,100 Chinese electric vehicles. To support the service, 18 charging stations have already been established in Lahore, with plans to expand the network gradually.

  • What will be the charging cost per day? Will that be beneficial for users? Will that cost be below the fuel prices consumed per day by a taxi driver? Only 585,000 will be paid by government remaining 4 million will be paid by car owner in 5 years, almost 80,000 to 1 lac per month installment expected. Very high cost. Not be beneficial for a taxi driver, taxi companies are paying 23 to 28 pkr per km, how will a driver earn and pay installment of 100,000 per month and how will a driver earn for his daily household expenses?
