What is the Scheme?
The CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 is a major subsidy programme launched in 2025 by the Government of Punjab to help small and medium-scale farmers purchase modern tractors at a significantly reduced cost. According to the official scheme site, subsidies of up to PKR 1,000,000 per tractor are available. The goal is to mechanise farming operations, reduce cultivation costs and increase productivity.
Why Phase 3 Matters for Farmers
If you cultivate land in Punjab, this scheme can make a real difference because:
- Tractors of 50–85 HP (and above in some models) are eligible, meaning you get access to larger machines.
- The subsidy lowers your upfront investment, making ownership approachable.
- Rolling out with balloting and online registration ensures transparent selection.
This isn’t just a grant, it is a strategic tool to empower you with better equipment so you can work smarter and faster, not just harder.
Key Features of Phase 3
Here’s a breakdown of what the scheme includes:
- Subsidy: Up to PKR 1 million depending on tractor size and model.
- Tractor power range: 50–65 HP for smaller units; 75–125 HP for higher specification models.
- Fully online registration and e‑balloting for selection.
- One tractor per applicant/family to prevent duplicate benefits.
- Locally manufactured or locally assembled tractor models are eligible (e.g., Al‑Ghazi, Millat, New Holland etc.).
