Thousands of applicants who were stuck on the PAVE electric bike scheme waiting list have just received good news — their status has been upgraded to “Selected.” If you applied for a subsidized electric bike under the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) scheme, this guide explains how to check your balloting result, what the Rs80,000 subsidy covers, who is eligible, and what to do next before your reservation expires.
What Is the PAVE Electric Bike Scheme?
The PAVE electric bike scheme is the federal government’s flagship program to make electric two-wheelers affordable for ordinary Pakistanis. It is administered by the Engineering Development Board (EDB) under the Ministry of Industries and Production, in line with the National Electric Vehicle Policy 2025–30.
Instead of charging interest like a normal bank loan, the scheme provides a direct government subsidy on electric bikes, e-rickshaws, and e-loaders purchased from approved manufacturers. The goal is to cut fuel costs for working families, reduce urban air pollution, and create over 100,000 green jobs in local EV manufacturing.
PAVE Balloting Result October 2026: What Changed
In the first balloting round, the Ministry received 269,161 applications. Out of these, 40,000 applicants were selected for electric two-wheelers and 1,000 for electric three-wheelers through a computerized e-balloting supervised by a Balloting Oversight Committee.
In October 2026, thousands of applicants who had initially received a “Waiting” status saw their dashboards change to “Selected / Successful.” This happened because automated verification removed non-compliant or duplicate entries, freeing up slots for genuine applicants on the waiting list.
Subsidy Amounts Under PAVE
| Vehicle Type | Bank Leasing Subsidy | Self-Finance Subsidy |
|---|---|---|
| Electric two-wheeler (bike/scooter) | Rs50,000 | Rs80,000 |
| Electric three-wheeler (rickshaw/loader) | Rs200,000 | Rs400,000 |
Electric bike prices under the scheme range from approximately Rs210,000 to Rs577,000 depending on the model, before subsidy.
