Sindh Free E-Bike Scheme 2025 Launched for Women Workers
The Government of Sindh has officially launched the Sindh Free E-Bike Scheme 2025 for female industrial workers. This scheme is designed to empower women, promote green transport, and improve workplace safety.
Announced by the Workers Welfare Board Sindh (WWBS), the program will provide 10,000 free electric motorcycles to women working in registered industries across Sindh. Unlike small symbolic projects, this is a large-scale initiative fully funded by the government. It combines social equity with sustainable mobility solutions and reflects Sindh’s progressive vision under the leadership of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Labour Minister Shahid Abdul Salam Thahim.
Why the Sindh Free Electric Bike Scheme Matters
Transportation has always been a big challenge for women working in Pakistan’s industries. Many female workers depend on public transport, which is often unsafe, expensive, and unreliable.
This program removes those barriers and ensures women can travel safely, independently, and affordably.
Key Benefits for Women Workers
- Economic Empowerment: Save money on daily commuting and gain financial independence.
- Green Transport: E-bikes produce no smoke, reducing pollution.
- Workplace Inclusion: Easier transport access helps more women join the workforce.
- Safety & Security: Women no longer need to depend on unsafe public buses or vans.
Sindh is the first province in Pakistan to launch such a large-scale project exclusively for women.
Eligibility Criteria for Women Applicants
To keep the program fair, the government has set clear eligibility conditions. Only women who meet these requirements can apply.
Eligibility Rules:
- Female applicants only
- Age between 20 and 45 years
- Must be employed in a registered industrial unit
