Punjab Green E-taxi Scheme Requirements. Under the leadership of CM Punjab, the government has launched the Green E-Taxi Scheme, where people can get electric taxis on interest-free instalments. This is a golden opportunity for jobless youth, women, and others seeking a better life.
💼 Who Can Apply?
- ✅ Unemployed Youth
If you are between 21 to 55 years old, living in Punjab, and looking for a way to earn, this is for you. - ✅ Women Drivers
A special quota of 30 e-taxis has been allocated exclusively for women. It’s a big step to bring women into the driving and transport field. - ✅ Fleet Owners
If you own a taxi business, you can apply too. But you must take at least 10 electric taxis to qualify. - ✅ People with Disabilities
There will also be support for disabled individuals — more details on this are coming soon.
