Punjab CM Green Tractor Program Phase III 2026
The Government of Punjab has officially launched Punjab CM Green Tractor Program Phase III 2026 under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz Sharif. With 10,000 new tractors set to be distributed, this initiative is being described as one of the largest farmer-support programs in recent years.
If you are a farmer in Punjab, this guide explains everything you need to know eligibility criteria, application procedure, benefits, features, and how the balloting system works.
What Is the CM Green Tractor Program?
The CM Green Tractor Program is a provincial government initiative aimed at helping small and medium farmers purchase tractors at subsidized rates. Due to rising tractor prices over the last five years, many farmers have been unable to afford modern machinery.
Through this program, the Punjab government provides financial support so eligible farmers can receive tractors through a transparent balloting process.
In Phase III, 10,000 tractors (50–65 horsepower) will be distributed across the province.

Why This Scheme Was Launched
During the launch ceremony, Maryam Nawaz stated that:
- 20,000 tractors were distributed over the past 25 years.
- In just two years, 31,000 tractors have already been provided under her government.
- Punjab currently has only 140 tractors per 10,000 acres, which is far below international standards.
This shortage directly affects crop productivity, increases labor dependency, and slows farming operations. The program aims to close this mechanization gap.
Eligibility Criteria – Who Can Apply?
If you are wondering whether you qualify, here are the key conditions shared during the official briefing:
Basic Eligibility Requirements
- Must be a resident of Punjab
- Must be a registered farmer
- Land ownership up to 5 acres (small farmers priority)

- Land record must be verifiable
- Must not have previously received a tractor under the same scheme (if restricted in rules)
More than 427,000 farmers owning up to five acres applied for Phase III, according to Provincial Agriculture Minister Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani.
Because demand is very high, selection is done through balloting.
