Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase III (2026): Complete Overview, Eligibility, Subsidy & Application Guide
The Government of Punjab, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has officially launched Phase III (2026) of the Green Tractor Scheme, marking one of the most farmer-centric agricultural initiatives in recent years. This phase is strategically designed to empower small and medium farmers, improve farm productivity, and accelerate agricultural mechanization across Punjab.
Unlike earlier phases that largely benefited larger landholders, Phase III lowers the entry barrier, making modern machinery accessible to thousands of small cultivators who form the backbone of Punjab’s rural economy.
🌾 Overview of Phase III (2026)
Phase III is focused on compact, fuel-efficient, and cost-effective tractors suitable for smaller landholdings.
- Total Tractors: 10,000 units to be distributed province-wide
- Horsepower Range: 50 HP to 65 HP (ideal for small & medium farms)
- Government Subsidy: PKR 500,000 (5 Lakh) per tractor
- Selection Method: 100% digital balloting system to ensure transparency and merit
This approach ensures fair access, eliminates middlemen, and prevents favoritism in allotment.
✅ Eligibility Criteria (Who Can Apply?)
To qualify for Green Tractor Scheme Phase III, farmers must meet all of the following conditions:
- Residency: Permanent resident of Punjab
- Land Ownership: Minimum 5 acres of cultivable land in the applicant’s own name
- Identity: Valid CNIC issued by NADRA
- Kisan Card: Possession of a verified Kisan Card is mandatory
- Previous Beneficiaries:
- ❌ Farmers who have already received a subsidized tractor from any government or bank scheme are not eligible

🌱 Why Phase III Matters for Punjab Agriculture
Phase III is more than a subsidy—it is a structural reform aimed at:
- Reducing dependency on rented machinery
- Improving timely sowing and harvesting
- Lowering per-acre cultivation costs
- Increasing crop yields and farm incomes
By prioritizing smaller horsepower tractors, the government is aligning mechanization with actual on-ground needs rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

- A reduced land requirement (5 acres)
- A massive PKR 5-lakh subsidy
