CM Punjab electric bike scheme: who qualifies, monthly installment and how to apply

The CM Punjab electric bike scheme gives 100,000 e-bikes to students in Phase II at about Rs 3,000 a month for three years, with no down payment. The government pays the interest and insurance. You qualify if you are a regular student at an HEC-recognised college or university with a Punjab domicile and a driving licence or learner’s permit. Applications closed on 4 Oct 2026, and bikes are allotted by balloting.

Is it open? No. Phase II registration ran from early September to 4 October 2026. As of 19 October 2026 we found no official balloting date and no new intake.

What is the e-bike scheme 2026 installment plan?

The terms for Phase II, as reported in September and October 2026:

The terms changed over the year. When the CM relaunched the scheme on 30 June 2026, Aaj News reported a Rs 14,000 down payment, Rs 2,100 a month and a Rs 70,000 subsidy. The September and October reports drop the down payment and raise the monthly figure to about Rs 3,000, so we follow those.

PakWheels, citing the government portal, lists the bike as a 1,000W hub motor with a 72V lithium battery and a top speed of 50 to 55 km/h. Bikes come in black for male students and pink for female students.

The Nation lists these conditions for Phase II:

• Punjab domicile or a Punjab identity card.
• Regular student at an HEC-recognised public or private degree college or university.
• Driving licence or learner’s permit for a motorcycle.

Applications were taken online, on the Transport Department’s portal. By 12 October 2026, more than 1.3 million young people had registered and over 607,000 applications had been submitted, APP reported. That’s about six applications for every bike.

APP says the bikes will be allotted by balloting. PakWheels (7 Sep 2026) described it as first come, first served after documents; we follow APP, the state news agency, whose report is later. The CM told officials to deliver bikes within six weeks of the application process ending, The Nation reported. As of 19 October 2026 we found no official balloting or delivery date.

Bikes cost Rs 200,000 to Rs 250,000, with a 30% to 40% subsidy and the rest paid over two to three years, interest-free. Applications were to open on the Punjab Teachers Foundation website. We couldn’t confirm that they did.

Government employees: we found no published terms or start date as of 19 October 2026.
