Mayor Murtaza Wahab has announced that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) will establish electric bike charging stations across the city, introducing an eco-friendly step toward sustainable urban transport.
Speaking to reporters, Wahab said a private company has partnered with KMC to help implement the project, which will provide employees with electric bikes while reducing fuel expenses and carbon emissions.
In the first phase, KMC has acquired 20 electric bikes. While the market rate for each unit stands at around Rs. 240,000, the corporation purchased them for Rs. 215,000 under a negotiated agreement. The mayor said the first batch will be handed over to dispatch riders, while women employees will be prioritized in the next phase.
To support the initiative, KMC has already installed its first charging station at the corporation’s headquarters. More stations are planned throughout Karachi, all of which will be tracked through a mobile app to maintain transparency and efficiency.

Another action by Sindh govt without realizing or forecasting its impact on the already congested and unruly traffic landscape of the city. Instead of encouraging use of public transport govt wants more bikers on the road. Utterly stupid decision
Jese log wese decisions!
Very Nice and Remarkable Services decision for the Employees as well as friendly environment, need of the days to be implemented with honestly in the favour of employees at less possible rates allowing different manufacturing companies creating among competitive environment. Which will make it possible. There should not be any hidden purpose of business deal and must be facilitating the employees and cleanliness of Environment of Karachi. This may be expand for all the Karachi’s resident employees of Provincial and Federal Government. Best of Luck JazakAllah.
Good work for employees
Develop works se hi andaza lag de, kuch nahi hone wala MK se.
Kachra penalty on KE se kia howa, City clean howa?
Mayor Saheb you & your employees never attend office better option don’t waste money build the road infrastructure.
Giving electric scooter,lab top not issue. Real issue is how to enhance water storage capacity,rain water,urban flooding,construction of roads, improve lawlessness in Karachi.It is example patient is on death bed, instead of giving medicine,giving beautiful clothes.
Mayor sahib and yours team all are good and well worked 💯 and needs to more better works.
This project is really too good 😊 I appreciate you ♥️
Absolutely stupid idea buying 20 bikes when kmc employs thousands of employees. So what’s the purpose of these bikes? Improve servicing complaints? Efficiency? Garbage collection? Or just a jaunt to ysea view with family? Make sure these bikes or scooters are amphibious so that they can float and operate on the flooded, inundated streets of Karachi.
Good items for elder citizens ,,,,, also gift it to me

The facility must not restricted government employees only. It must be extended to all persons who want to get benefit of it.
