In a bid to encourage citizens to normalise environment-friendly mobility, the government is planning to offer a signigicant subsidy on electric bikes (e-bikes) under a New Electric Vehicle (NEV) policy .
This was disclosed in a high-level meeting chaired by Haroon Akhtar Khan, the special assistant to the prime minister for industries and production.
The initiative aims to provide subsidies for 116,000 e-bikes, aligning with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's vision for sustainable transport.
