Punjab CM e-Taxi Scheme 2025
Good news for the people of Punjab! Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced the official launch of the Punjab CM e-Taxi Scheme from August 2025. This project will not only promote environment-friendly transport but will also provide decent employment opportunities to unemployed youth and women. The Transport Department has made full preparations for this project and now its formal launch is expected in two weeks.
The most special aspect of this scheme is a separate quota for women. Yes 30 e-taxis have been allocated only for women so that they can also become financially independent by stepping into the driving sector. Among individual applicants, women will have to pay 40 percent and men 30 percent down payment, while the remaining amount will be paid by Bank of Punjab in easy installments. This opportunity is opening a new door for women that will lead them on the path of self-reliance.
Applying online has also been made easy. A digital portal is being developed with the support of PITB through which applications can be made. 9 companies have been shortlisted to provide e-taxis, spare parts, service centers and set up charging points. This complete project is a revolutionary step by the Punjab government which will not only support the economy but also turn the dreams of the youth into reality.
