The PAVE E-Bike Scheme 2026 is the federal government’s electric bike scheme for all of Pakistan. PAVE stands for the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program, run by the Ministry of Industries and Production under the New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025–30. The scheme aims to put 116,000 electric bikes in the hands of ordinary Pakistanis at subsidized rates, with selection through a transparent computerized e-balloting system.
Current status (November 2026): Phase 2 balloting is underway. Applicants who applied earlier can check whether their status has changed to “Selected / Successful” on the official portal. New registration for Phase 2 is not open yet — it is expected to open category-wise after manufacturer evaluation, so keep checking the official portal rather than trusting any agent or WhatsApp group that claims to register you now.

If you applied in an earlier round, check your status on the official portal only:

- Log in with your CNIC number and registered mobile number.
- Open your application dashboard (or use the BALLOT RESULT link in the portal’s top menu) to see your current status — “Selected / Successful”, “Waiting”, or “Not Selected”.
- Waiting-list applicants are being upgraded to “Selected / Successful” in batches during the balloting process, so check again if your status still shows “Waiting”.
- If you are selected, follow only the instructions shown in your own dashboard or sent to your registered mobile number.

PAVE Scheme vs CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme — Do Not Confuse Them
These are two different schemes:
| Scheme | Who it is for | Portal | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAVE (PM E-Bike Scheme) — federal | All Pakistanis, 18–65, all provinces + AJK & GB | pave.gov.pk | Phase 2 balloting underway; new registration not open yet |
| CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme — Punjab only | Students of Punjab colleges/universities (Phase 2) | bikes.punjab.gov.pk | Phase 2 registration closed on 4 October 2026; distribution started 5 November 2026 |
If you are a Punjab student, your scheme is the CM Punjab one on bikes.punjab.gov.pk. If you are applying as a general citizen anywhere in Pakistan, your scheme is PAVE on pave.gov.pk.
Scam Warning — Read Before You Apply
- Apply and check your status only on pave.gov.pk. There is no agent network, no paper form, and no fee of any kind.
- Fake pages and WhatsApp groups are already asking for “processing fees” — treat any request for payment outside the official portal as a scam.
- No one can guarantee your selection in the e-balloting, and no one can add your name after the draw.
- Never share your CNIC number, password or OTP with anyone claiming to be from the scheme.
