Lahore — The Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 (2026) has been officially launched, setting the stage for one of the province’s largest agricultural subsidy programs aimed at empowering farmers and modernizing cultivation practices. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, eligible farmers across Punjab will receive massive subsidies on new tractors, bringing relief to small and medium‑scale cultivators.
The scheme, an extension of the successful previous phases, will provide up to Rs 1 Million subsidy per tractor, covering both small (50–65 HP) and large (75–125 HP) models. Distribution is expected to exceed 20,000 tractors province‑wide through a transparent digital e‑balloting system, ensuring fair access for genuine farmers.
Officials say the Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 2026 offers a lifeline to farmers struggling with rising cultivation costs, helping reduce dependency on rented machinery and manual labor. The scheme also aligns with broader efforts to support sustainable agriculture and food security in the region.
This agricultural push comes alongside other development initiatives in Punjab, including infrastructure projects such as the recently inaugurated Rs 741 Million road project in Bahawalpur, which aims to improve connectivity for rural communities and facilitate farm‑to‑market transport.
To qualify for the scheme, applicants must:
- Be a permanent resident of Punjab with a valid CNIC.
- Own agricultural land (minimum acreage varies by tractor type).
- Not be a bank loan defaulter or previous beneficiary of tractor subsidies.
Farmers can register online via the official portal, complete with clear step‑by‑step instructions and a digital balloting process that not only speeds up selection but also eliminates human bias.
Analysts believe the Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 (2026) will significantly boost agricultural productivity by equipping farmers with modern machinery, lowering production costs, and improving crop yields, key factors for Punjab’s agrarian economy as it navigates inflationary pressures and competitive markets.
