At a distribution ceremony in Mirpurkhas on 26 September 2026, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced a target of 50,000 electric scooties for women in Sindh who obtain driving licences. The announcement gave new energy to the Pink Scooty Scheme 2026, the Sindh government’s programme that hands over free electric scooties to eligible women through the Sindh Mass Transit Authority. Registration is open through the official SMTA portal, and final selection is made through transparent balloting.
The scheme matters because safe and affordable travel is still a daily problem for many women in Sindh. High fares, crowded buses and long waits make it harder for female students and working women to reach college or work on time. A free electric scooty, with free training, removes that barrier for women who qualify. This article explains who can apply, which documents are needed, how the online form works, and how the ballot and driving test decide the final list.

The programme did not start in one step. It was launched in April 2025, and each phase widened its reach across Sindh.
April 2025 — launch: the Sindh government launched the Pink EV Scooty Scheme for women, managed by the SMTA.
September 2025 — Phase 1: the first phase distributed scooties to selected women, starting in Karachi.
4 November 2025 — Phase 2: the second phase was announced, expanding the programme beyond Karachi to Hyderabad, Sukkur and Shaheed Benazirabad.
26 September 2026 — Mirpurkhas: scooties were distributed in Mirpurkhas, where Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the target of 50,000 scooties for women who obtain driving licences.
Registration today: registration remains open through the SMTA portal, and selected women receive the scooty free with free training.
The 50,000 figure is an announced target for the programme. It is not the number of scooties already distributed, and it does not mean every applicant will receive one. Final selection always depends on verification, training, the driving test and the ballot.
Who Can Apply for the Pink Scooty Scheme?
The programme is exclusively for female applicants. Male applicants cannot register, and any application from a male applicant will be rejected.
Residence: the applicant must be a permanent resident of Sindh with a valid domicile and Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC).
Student or working woman: the applicant must be a female student or working woman; widows and single mothers get priority.
Age and licence: the applicant must be 18 or older and hold a learner’s motorbike permit or a motorcycle driving licence; learners get training for a full licence.
Driving test: a permanent licence and a successful driving test are required before a scooty is handed over.
Seven-year condition: the selected woman must agree not to sell, transfer or rent out the scooty for seven years.

Balloting, Training and the Driving Test
Submitting the form is only the first step. Selection follows a fixed order, and no applicant can skip a stage.
Verification: the authority checks every applicant’s information and documents.
Balloting: eligible applications are shortlisted and final selection is made through a transparent ballot.
Training and test: selected women complete free riding and road-safety training and pass a driving skill test.
Distribution: scooties are handed over to women who clear verification, training and the driving test; follow official SMTA announcements for updates.
Training is free, and it is also practical: learners are taught road safety and riding skills before the test, so women who have never ridden a motorbike are not left behind. The driving test comes after the training, and only women who pass it receive a scooty.
What Happens After You Receive the Scooty
Receiving the scooty does not end the responsibility. The seven-year condition means the selected woman must not sell, transfer or rent out the vehicle for seven years, and the SMTA can verify compliance. The scooty is electric, so it needs regular charging rather than petrol, and the free training covers basic care as well as road safety. Selected women should also keep following official SMTA announcements, because later phases and new instructions are published on the portal first.
Sindh Pink Scooty vs Punjab E-Bike Scheme
Punjab runs a separate student transport programme, and the two schemes should not be mixed up. Women in Punjab should not apply through the Sindh portal and should wait for a new Punjab announcement.
Official portal only: use only the official SMTA website, never an unknown website.
No agents: do not pay any agent who promises guaranteed selection; no agent can guarantee selection in a ballot.
Protect your CNIC: never share your CNIC details, OTPs or banking passwords with unknown individuals.
Verify fees: registration is free through official channels; verify any fee demand first.
Conclusion
The Pink Scooty Scheme 2026 gives women in Sindh a real chance to travel independently for education and work, with a free electric scooty, free training and transparent selection. The 50,000-women target shows the scale of the programme, but registration is only the first step. Eligible women should prepare their documents, apply only through the official SMTA portal, and wait for the balloting announcement.
