Why the E-Taxi Program is a Game-Changer for Punjab
This program is a revolutionary step towards economic empowerment and environmental sustainability. Thousands of educated but unemployed individuals in Punjab struggle to find stable jobs. By offering them an electric taxi through an interest-free installment plan, the government is enabling them to become self-reliant.
Moreover, electric taxis contribute to reducing environmental pollution and fuel costs. With rising petrol prices, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming the future of transportation. This scheme is not just about employment; it’s about preparing Punjab for a greener, cleaner future.
