Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced a revised distribution schedule for electric bikes under the CM E-Bike Scheme. The first phase of distribution will now begin in December instead of November 5.
Maryam Nawaz shared the update while addressing a laptop distribution and Honhaar Scholarship ceremony in Jhelum on Tuesday, November 10. She explained that the government had to change the original schedule due to the large number of electric bikes being manufactured.
The Punjab government had initially planned to begin distributing electric bikes on November 5. However, the manufacturing process required additional time because of the number of bikes being prepared for students.
The chief minister confirmed that distribution would start in December. The revised schedule is expected to affect students who applied for electric bikes under the provincial government’s initiative.
The CM E-Bike Scheme aims to provide students with affordable and convenient transportation. It is particularly intended to support those who face difficulties travelling to their educational institutions.
Maryam Nawaz also highlighted the importance of road safety during her address. She advised students who applied for electric bikes to complete proper riding training before using their vehicles.
She also urged students to wear helmets and follow traffic regulations. According to her instructions, responsible riding is essential to prevent accidents and protect students.
The government has encouraged applicants to take road safety measures seriously. Students are expected to develop proper riding habits before receiving and using their electric bikes.
The Punjab government launched the second phase of its electric bike initiative in September 2026. Under this phase, eligible students are expected to receive electric bikes through the provincial scheme.
The CM E-Bike Scheme is part of the government’s efforts to improve student mobility. It seeks to make daily commuting easier and reduce transportation difficulties.
With distribution now scheduled to begin in December, applicants will have to wait longer than initially expected. The government has not announced a more detailed distribution timeline for individual applicants.
