A Game-Changing Step for Agriculture
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has introduced the Punjab Green Tractor Scheme 2025, a revolutionary project aimed at supporting small farmers across the province. Under this program, the government is offering up to 70% subsidy on tractors, making modern farming tools affordable for those who need them most.
Agriculture is the backbone of Punjab’s economy, but rising costs of machinery and fuel have left many farmers struggling. By subsidizing tractors, the government aims to improve productivity, reduce costs, and empower rural communities.
What is the Punjab Green Tractor Scheme?
The scheme is a farmer-friendly initiative designed to:
-
Provide tractors at highly subsidized rates.
-
Increase crop yield through modern machinery.
-
Reduce manual labor and farming expenses.
-
Encourage sustainable agricultural practices.
For small landowners, buying a tractor on their own is nearly impossible. This scheme brings that dream within reach, ensuring equal opportunities for rural farmers.
Eligibility Criteria for Farmers
Not every farmer is eligible. The scheme has specific conditions to ensure fairness:
-
Must be a resident of Punjab with valid domicile.
-
Hold a CNIC.
-
Own agricultural land (2–12 acres).
-
Be actively engaged in farming.
-
Not have benefited from a similar government tractor subsidy in the past.
Farmers with large landholdings or those already owning tractors are not eligible, as the scheme is mainly for small and medium landholders.
Required Documents for Application
Applicants should prepare these documents:
-
CNIC copy.
-
Domicile certificate.
-
Proof of land ownership (fard or registry).
-
Recent passport-size photographs.

-
50% subsidy for farmers with 6–12 acres of land.

-
Affordable tractors improve farm efficiency.

Why This Scheme is Important
Punjab is known as the “food basket of Pakistan,” but without affordable farming equipment, its full potential cannot be achieved. The Green Tractor Scheme ensures that even small farmers can adopt modern techniques, increase production, and improve their standard of living.
Conclusion
The Punjab Green Tractor Scheme 2025 is a visionary step by CM Maryam Nawaz to uplift small farmers and strengthen the agricultural backbone of the province. By offering up to 70% subsidy, the government is not only easing financial burdens but also investing in a stronger, self-reliant farming community.
Farmers should prepare their documents, monitor the official portal, and apply on time to benefit from this golden opportunity.
