In a big step taken to curb inflation and offer direct relief to the masses, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has formally declared a huge relief package to the motorcyclists in the province.
With the unstable oil prices in the world market, the provincial government is intervening to help alleviate the financial pressure on the everyday commuters by giving them highly subsidized fuel and eradicating the administrative expenses of vehicles. This new venture is aimed at reducing your monthly travel costs by a large margin provided you are a motorcycle owner in Punjab.
The following is a full breakdown of what the relief package consists of, the specific fuel quota and the process of how it is applied step by step.
Punjab Subsidized Petrol Quota
The highlight of this relief package is the massive reduction in fuel prices for eligible citizens. Under the newly introduced scheme, motorcycle owners in Punjab will be entitled to a specific monthly fuel quota at a heavily discounted rate.
The Discount: Eligible motorcyclists can purchase petrol at a fixed rate of just Rs. 100 per liter.
The Quota: The subsidy will be limited to 20 liters per month to every registered beneficiary.
This project will leave the working population and students that depend on motor bikes in their day to day lives with an assurance that they will be able to afford a sufficient quantity of fuel to sustain their basic transportation demands.
I am pleased to announce a massive relief package for the people of Punjab!

Zero Registration and Transfer Fees
In order to make sure that as many citizens as possible can get the benefit of this subsidy, the government of Punjab has realized that most of the citizens operate motorcycles, which are not officially registered in their names.
To address this, the government has declared that registration fees as well as transfer charges would be totally waived on motorbikes in the entire province. What this entails is that the citizens are now free to officially register a new bike or transfer the ownership of a used bike to their own name without incurring any costs at all hence they are able to enjoy the fuel subsidy without going through financial huddles in the administration.
How to Apply for the Fuel Subsidy
The provincial government has made the application process accessible to all people through opening various digital and phone lines. The scheme is registered to start on April 4, 2026.
The fuel subsidy can be availed to eligible owners of motorbikes in Punjab through any one of the following three official ways:
Call the Official Helpline: All that you need is to call the number 1000 using your registered mobile number and talk to a representative and enroll your details using your phone.
