LAHORE: The Punjab Government has launched the “CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025,” under which more than 1,000 e-taxis will be provided on easy and interest-free loans.
The plan, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is set to officially launch in August 2025.
The government is set to achieve three goals from the Scheme.
The Punjab Transport Department has confirmed that applications will be managed through an online portal built by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
A total of 30 electric taxis will be reserved for women.
To ensure that drivers only pay the bare minimum, the government will also cover the markup, token tax, and registration costs.
Applicants will need to use the PITB-supported online portal to apply for the CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025 when it becomes live. The steps are:
One hundred cabs will be distributed to individual drivers and 1,000 to fleet owners in the first phase of the E-Taxi Scheme 2025. Thirty of these cabs are designated for female passengers.
Electric sedans and hatchbacks with a range of up to 300 kilometers between charges are anticipated among the cars.
In order to maintain the seamless operation of the cabs, the Scheme will also install solar-powered charging stations and servicing centers. Lahore will be the first city in Punjab to have charging stations erected, followed by other cities.
