In a significant move to promote eco-friendly transportation, the Punjab government has announced a new scheme offering Rs. 100,000 to citizens who convert their petrol-powered motorcycles into electric bikes. The initiative is aimed at reducing carbon emissions, lowering fuel dependency, and supporting sustainable energy solutions in the province.
Under this program, bike owners can have their existing petrol motorcycles converted into electric vehicles through authorized workshops. The government subsidy will help cover a major portion of the conversion cost, making the transition affordable for the public.
Officials stated that this project is part of a broader environmental and energy conservation strategy designed to tackle rising fuel prices and curb air pollution across urban areas. By promoting electric bikes, the government hopes to create a greener transport network while easing financial pressure on citizens due to increasing petrol costs.
