Agriculture is the lifeline of Punjab — yet thousands of hardworking farmers struggle every day with outdated tools, rising fuel costs, and limited access to affordable tractors.
To solve this long-standing issue, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has relaunched a landmark initiative — the CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 (2025).
This farmer-friendly program provides interest-subsidized tractors through a fully digital, transparent e-balloting system, giving eligible farmers financial support of up to Rs 1 million per tractor.
What Is the Green Tractor Scheme?
The CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme 2025 is a government-backed subsidy program aimed at modernizing agriculture across the province.
It enables small and medium-scale farmers to purchase brand-new tractors at reduced prices — without middlemen or political favoritism.
Key Highlights
