Introduction: Why this scheme is important in 2025
Diesel, fertilizer, seed, and machinery costs have rocketed, making farming an impossible venture. Large numbers of small farmers cannot even purchase the basic tools they need to plow and harvest the land or prepare it, let alone buy a tractor. All this inspired the Government of Punjab to initiate the Green Tractor SchemePhase III, to make equipment available to farmers at lower rates through a subsidy by the government. The 2025 phase is designed to modernize agriculture, reduce manual labour, and increase production.
Higher Subsidy in Phase-III: What’s New?
The new 2025 Edition has increased the subsidy to ensure maximum participation by small growers.
Expected Subsidy Details
- Small tractor: Up to 70% subsidy
- Large tractor: Up to 50% subsidy
- Special Quota for Farmers with Less Than 5 Acres
- Easy installment plans to help those who can’t pay the full amount up front
This increased subsidy will make modern tractors affordable to low-income farmers who struggled before due to high prices.
