The Government of Punjab has announced a historic and empowering new transport initiative, the CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme. In its first phase, the government will offer 1,100 electric taxis to selected applicants, and the best part is that these taxis will be available on interest-free instalments through the CM Punjab Green e-Taxi Program.
This means that many people, especially those who need a fresh start or a new opportunity, can now afford their own vehicle and start earning right away using the facility of CM Punjab Green e-Taxi Program.
This visionary step is part of CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s plan to modernize public transport and reduce harmful air pollution in Punjab.
Instead of running on petrol or diesel, these taxis are fully electric. That means no fuel cost, less pollution, and a cleaner Punjab for future generations.
