CM Punjab Green Tractor Program 2025: Big Subsidy for Farmers
The Green Tractor Program 2025, launched by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, helps farmers afford tractors. It offers a subsidy of up to Rs. 10 lakh per tractor, making it easier to buy modern equipment. The goal is to distribute 15,000 tractors by June 2025 through a fair lottery system. This program boosts farming and supports Punjab’s rural economy.
Why Is It Important?
Many farmers can’t buy tractors because they’re expensive. This program:
- Lowers tractor costs for small and medium farmers.
- Helps grow more crops with less effort.
- Supports local brands like Millat Tractors and Al-Ghazi.
- Makes farming modern and sustainable.
How Does It Work?
- Subsidy: Get Rs. 10 lakh off on tractors with 50-85 horsepower.
- Tractor Options: Choose from trusted brands like Massey Ferguson or New Holland.
- Lottery System: A digital draw selects 15,000 farmers fairly.
- Progress: Over 4,000 tractors delivered, aiming for 15,000 by mid-2025.

Farmers must:
- Be a Punjab resident with a valid CNIC.
- Own 1-50 acres of land (checked by Land Record Center).
- Have not received a tractor subsidy before.
- Have no outstanding loans or debts.
