PM E-Bike Scheme 2026 (PAVE Pakistan)
The PM E-Bike Scheme is a federal support programme for people who want a lower-cost electric bike in Pakistan. The main idea is simple: help eligible buyers reduce the upfront price of an approved e-bike and make cleaner daily travel easier. On the latest published status, Phase 1 is closed, while the next phase is expected to open on the official PAVE portal.
Current PAVE status
EDB currently states that the first PAVE phase has closed and the second phase will be announced through pave.gov.pk and the EDB website. In September 2026, EDB is still pre-qualifying electric two-wheeler manufacturers for Phase II and later phases.
Who can apply?
The published PAVE eligibility is straightforward. The final Phase II portal can add or refine requirements, so check the live form when it opens.
Pakistani citizen
You need a valid CNIC.
18 or older
The applicant must be at least 18 years old.
Driving eligibility
You must hold, or be eligible to obtain, a valid driving licence where provincial rules require it.
One-time benefit
Each applicant can receive the subsidy for one electric bike under the scheme.
How the Rs80,000 subsidy works
The subsidy is not paid as cash to the applicant. PAVE documents say the fixed Rs80,000 amount is paid to the approved OEM/manufacturer, reducing the price you pay for the selected e-bike.
Choose an approved model
The digital platform lists pre-qualified manufacturers and models.
Pay the reduced price
You pay the price after the government subsidy is already deducted.
Delivery and registration
The approved manufacturer handles delivery and vehicle registration, then uploads the transaction for verification.
How to apply when Phase II opens
When the next phase opens, use the official PAVE portal and keep your basic details ready. The exact screens can change, but the process is expected to stay portal-based.
Open PAVE
Open the official PAVE portal after the next phase opening notice is announced.
Enter your details
Provide your CNIC, contact information and any details requested in the live form.

Choose from the pre-qualified manufacturer and model list on the portal.
Complete the process
Follow the portal's payment and verification steps and keep your application reference safe.
