The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to launch a scheme to provide electric scooters to working women and female students across the province as part of efforts to promote eco-friendly transport and improve mobility.
The decision was taken during a meeting of the Planning and Development Department chaired by Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi, where proposals for the Annual Development Program (ADP) 2026-27 were reviewed.
Officials said the initiative aims to support women’s access to safe and affordable transport while encouraging the use of electric mobility.
During the meeting, the chief minister also directed authorities to explore the establishment of an electric bike and scooter manufacturing industry in the province to promote modern technology and local production.
