Special Quotas in PAVE:
The Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) Scheme 2025 has already created a buzz nationwide. But now, the government has gone one step further by announcing exclusive quotas for women, students, and delivery riders.
This decision, part of the broader New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–30, ensures that the scheme benefits those who need it most—daily commuters, students, working women, and gig-economy delivery riders.
Let’s explore how these quotas work, who is eligible, and why they matter.
What Are PAVE Quotas?
PAVE quotas are reserved allocations within the total vehicle distribution to ensure fair access. Instead of competing with everyone in open balloting, these groups get dedicated slots, increasing their chances of selection.
- Women – To encourage female mobility and empowerment.
- Students – For affordable bikes to travel to universities and colleges.
- Delivery Riders – Supporting the rising demand for delivery services in Pakistan.

While official numbers may vary, initial reports suggest:
- 20% quota for students (electric bikes only)
