With skyrocketing fuel prices and rising public transit fares, daily commuting expenses represent a major financial burden for college and university students across Pakistan. To promote green energy adoption, reduce urban air pollution, and empower youth mobility, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has introduced the KPK Electric Bike Scheme 2026.
Following similar successful initiatives in Punjab, the KPK program provides interest-free installment subsidies and quotas specifically earmarked for female students, college scholars, and working youth. Here is your definitive breakdown of the eligibility requirements, quota breakdown, required documentation, and step-by-step online application process.
