The Punjab government has started a financial support program that gives up to Rs. 100,000 to people who want to switch from petrol motorcycles to electric bikes. This is part of the Chief Minister’s Green Credit Program.
People who are eligible can get a green credit of up to Rs. 100,000 by buying a new electric bike and registering through the official website. The main goal of this program is to reduce pollution and encourage cleaner ways of transportation in the province.
Who Is Eligible?
Program head Rizwana Anjum explained that citizens who buy an electric bike after December 2024 are eligible. Applicants must provide the following details:
Purchase date of the electric bike Bike company and model Registration number Chassis number Copy of the registration book

Clear photographs of the vehicle
A program representative will verify the application in person. Upon successful verification, the beneficiary will receive an initial payment of Rs. 50,000.
Second Payment Linked to Usage
To qualify for the second installment of Rs. 50,000, users must connect their electric bike to the Green Credit mobile app. Those who log 6,000 kilometers of travel within six months of registration will receive the remaining amount.
Scope of the Program
The government plans to convert 2,000 petrol bikes and 250 other vehicles to electric ones during this fiscal year. This change is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 8,000 tons every year. The bigger goal is to switch 30% of Punjab’s transport system to electric vehicles by 2030, which would help lower transport-related emissions by 20%.

Officials from the Punjab Environment Protection Agency (EPA) have made it clear that the scheme does not include retrofitted bikes. Only brand-new electric motorcycles that are bought and registered under the program will be eligible for the cash incentive.
