CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme 2025 – Registration Reopens for Farmers (Full Guide)
Lahore (October 2025): The Punjab Government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has relaunched the Solar Tubewell Scheme 2025, giving eligible farmers another chance to register. This scheme aims to convert traditional diesel and electric tube wells into solar-powered systems, reducing irrigation costs and ensuring a reliable water supply for crops.
Farmers who missed the earlier phase can now apply online and benefit from government subsidies, eco-friendly energy solutions, and long-term financial savings.
Why the Solar Tubewell Scheme is a Game-Changer
For years, farmers have struggled with:
-
High diesel and electricity costs
-
Frequent power outages disrupting irrigation
-
Rising fuel prices increasing farming expenses
By switching to solar-powered tube wells, farmers can enjoy:
-
Lower costs – no electricity bills or diesel dependency
-
Uninterrupted water supply – even during load-shedding
-
Eco-friendly farming – reduced carbon emissions
-
Better crop yields – consistent irrigation improves soil and crop health
Government Targets & Expansion Plans
-
Phase 1 Target: Conversion of 8,000 tube wells to solar
-
Future Expansion: Plans to solarize 15,000 – 18,000 tube wells across Punjab
This massive transition will not only ease the financial burden on farmers but also support Pakistan’s renewable energy and climate goals.
