The Punjab government’s E-Taxi Scheme 2025 has entered its most awaited stage the balloting phase. Thousands of applicants across the province, including male and female drivers, are now waiting to find out whether they have been selected for the electric taxi allotment.
This initiative, launched under the leadership of the Chief Minister of Punjab, aims to revolutionize urban transport by introducing eco-friendly electric taxis, creating employment opportunities, and promoting clean energy adoption in the transport sector. The program has received an overwhelming response from individuals and ride-hailing drivers who want to switch to electric mobility with government-backed financial support.
What the Balloting Means
Because applications far exceeded the number of available vehicles, the government will conduct e-balloting a computerized, transparent selection process, to ensure fairness in allotting taxis. Each verified applicant will have an equal chance of selection. The official balloting date has not yet been announced, but it is expected to take place soon after the verification phase is complete.
The balloting results will determine who qualifies for the interest-free loan facility and receives priority for electric taxi delivery. Successful applicants will be informed through official channels such as SMS, email, or the Punjab government’s web portal.

Timeline and Next Steps
The application phase for the E-Taxi Scheme has officially closed. Authorities are now verifying documents and eligibility before conducting the balloting. Once the process is complete, successful applicants will be contacted to begin the financing and vehicle delivery process.
Impact of the Scheme
The CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025 is more than just a transport project; it’s a step toward green mobility and economic empowerment. By replacing fuel-based taxis with electric ones, the province aims to reduce air pollution, save fuel, and create long-term jobs for skilled and semi-skilled drivers.
Additionally, by introducing a women’s quota, the scheme promotes inclusivity and encourages women to enter the transportation sector confidently. This reflects a broader effort to create sustainable livelihoods while modernizing Punjab’s transport system.
