In a big relief for bike owners, the Punjab government has officially launched the Green Credit Program 2025, offering a cash reward of Rs. 100,000 for those who shift from petrol motorcycles to electric bikes. The scheme, announced by Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, aims to reduce smog, cut fuel expenses, and promote eco-friendly transport in the province. With petrol prices now touching Rs. 250 per liter and Lahore facing severe smog, this step is being seen as both a financial and health-saving move for citizens.
What is the Green Credit Program 2025?
The Green Credit Program is not just about e-bikes. It’s a complete environmental initiative where citizens can earn rewards by taking steps that protect nature. Whether it’s planting trees, switching to energy-saving LED lights, or converting to electric bikes, every effort counts.
The program is open for all Punjab residents, and the application process is fully online through the official portal.
Some key activities under this program include:
- Converting petrol motorcycles into electric vehicles (EVs)
- Planting trees under the “Plant for Pakistan” campaign
- Replacing old bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights
- Taking part in smog and pollution control drives

Tree Plantation Campaign – “Plant for Pakistan”
Alongside the e-bike plan, the Punjab government has also started an aggressive tree plantation campaign. Citizens of Lahore can simply dial 1399 and get free saplings delivered right at their doorstep.
Other major steps include:
- Plantation of 300,000 trees along the Lahore Ring Road.
- A digital tracking system, inspired by Australian technology, to monitor tree growth.
- Recovery of encroached forest lands and handing them back to the government.
- Launch of a fire control unit in partnership with the Bank of Punjab to protect forests.
Marriyum Aurangzeb made it clear that every Lahori shares the responsibility of planting trees and protecting the environment.
Tackling Smog and Air Pollution
Lahore has consistently ranked among the most polluted cities in the world. To deal with this crisis, the government has:
- Installed seven new air quality monitoring stations across the city.
- Declared smog control as a top priority.
- Urged citizens to join plantation drives to create cleaner air for future generations.
As the minister rightly said:
“The more greenery we create, the healthier our future will be.”
