The initiative was inaugurated by Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti during a ceremony held at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, where officials presented details of the project.
Under the programme, the provincial government plans to distribute 20,000 electric scooties across the province. Each vehicle has been priced at Rs175,000.
Officials said the government will provide a 30 percent subsidy on the scooters, making them more accessible to citizens. The remaining amount can be paid through instalment plans spanning one or two years.
The scheme is being implemented in collaboration with the National Bank of Pakistan, following an agreement signed in January 2026 to introduce subsidised electric vehicles in the province.
Authorities said the initiative primarily targets students, working women and members of the general public who need safe and cost-effective transportation options.
The programme is also expected to support environmentally sustainable mobility by encouraging the use of electric vehicles and reducing reliance on fuel-powered transport.
Officials believe the scheme will help improve mobility, reduce transportation costs and promote cleaner energy solutions across Balochistan.
