What Is The Green Tractor Scheme?
The Green Tractor Scheme is a Punjab government subsidy initiative offering selected farmers financial assistance toward tractor purchase, lowering the effective cost of an eligible tractor while supporting agricultural mechanization and practical farm development today.
Under Phase IV, the Chief Minister Punjab Green Tractor Program targets 10,000 tractors through its Low Power category for 2026–27. The structure focuses on 50–65 HP machines, with 5 acres as a published landholding criterion.
The scheme connects small farmers and medium farmers with modern farming practices, farm machinery, and improved productivity. The current Phase IV support is Rs. 750,000 subsidy per tractor, helping reduce purchase barriers for eligible applicants.
Green Tractor Scheme Phase IV — Current Data
The Green Tractor Program in Punjab enters Phase IV for 2026–27, focusing on Low Power machinery. The plan covers 10,000 tractors, with tractor capacity ranging from 50–65 HP for eligible applicants across Punjab.
According to the Punjab Agriculture Department’s 2026–27 Chief Minister initiatives listing, Phase IV targets 10,000 low-power tractors of 50–65 HP for farmers with at least 5 acres of land, with a subsidy of Rs. 750,000 per tractor.
Older Phase III Green Tractor Scheme Data
Phase III of the Green Tractor Scheme marked a previous phase with Rs. 1,000,000 subsidy, supporting 9,500 tractors in a 50–85 HP tractor range, all locally manufactured and allocated through computerized balloting, followed by e-balloting applications through Punjab’s official portal.
Objectives Of The Green Tractor Scheme
The scheme aims to strengthen agricultural mechanization in Punjab, giving small farmers and medium farmers more practical access to affordable tractors. This can improve farming efficiency, support crop yield, and reduce dependence on rented tractors.
Green Tractor Scheme Eligibility
-
Eligibility Criteria
- Permanent resident of Punjab
- Owns agricultural land meeting the current threshold (commonly cited as 5 acres for Phase IV)
- Land ownership verifiable through official land records
- Valid CNIC and active mobile number in the applicant’s own name
- Has not received a tractor under a previous phase of this scheme or a comparable subsidy program
- Not a loan/bank defaulter
Eligibility conditions — especially the land threshold and whether tenants or sharecroppers qualify — have changed between phases. Confirm the exact, current-phase criteria on the official GTS portal before applying.
Tractor Horsepower Specifications
For Phase IV, the low-power category covers 50–65 HP, making tractor models suitable for common farm operations. In practice, horsepower matters because agricultural machinery must match acreage, implements, soil conditions, and workload across Punjab farms.
Green Tractor Scheme Subsidy
The Phase IV subsidy provides Rs. 750,000 per tractor, reducing the tractor cost for an eligible tractor. The government subsidy supports the farmer’s purchase, while the farmer contribution covers the balance under applicable government terms.
Consider an approved tractor priced at Rs. 2,400,000: after Rs. 750,000, the remaining amount becomes Rs. 1,650,000. By comparison, Phase III offered Rs. 1,000,000 or Rs. 10 lakh, so applicants should verify the applicable subsidy.
Total Number Of Tractors
For Phase IV, the allocation covers 10,000 tractors under the current low-power program, giving Punjab farmers a defined opportunity to access agricultural machinery while the previous phase included 9,500 tractors through separate tractor allocation.

Selection Balloting
For Phase IV, selection is expected to depend on verified eligibility rather than first-come-first-served access. Applicants enter the process after eligibility verification, while district-wise allocation helps organize available tractors fairly within the approved scheme process.
In earlier rounds, balloting and computerized e-balloting supported computerized selection, with Qurandazi used for random choice. The Punjab Information Technology Board handled technical processes under published government terms during Phase III for eligible farmer applicants.
Restrictions and Common Reasons for Disqualification
- Resale/ownership lock: subsidized tractors have historically carried a restriction period during which they can’t be sold or transferred. Confirm the current lock-in period for Phase IV.
- Mismatched land or CNIC details against official records is a common cause of rejection.
- Duplicate applications for the same landholding can affect eligibility.
- Missing a post-ballot payment or documentation deadline can cost you your allotment — the Agriculture Department has previously issued public warnings to waiting-list farmers about payment cut-off dates.
Ownership Transfer Restrictions
A subsidized tractor under Phase IV should be treated as tractor ownership, because official terms may impose transfer restrictions. Farmers should verify the restriction period before selling or transferring the machinery after purchase.
In practice, an ownership lock can limit transferring rights for 3–5 years. Ignoring these conditions may trigger subsidy recovery or government action, particularly when requirements from the previous scheme remain relevant for farmers.
Benefits Of The Green Tractor Scheme
A subsidy can reduce lower upfront tractor purchase cost, giving Punjab farmers better machinery access and strengthening tractor ownership. In practice, farm efficiency improves when equipment remains available for essential farming operations rather than waiting for rented tractors.
The practical gains extend across ploughing, cultivation, sowing, and harvesting, while modern farming machinery can reduce dependence on manual labor. Over time, these changes support agricultural productivity and make daily farm work more manageable for farmers.
Things Farmers Should Consider Before Choosing a Tractor
Before tractor purchase, compare fuel efficiency, fuel consumption, and operating costs rather than price alone. In my experience, an economical choice usually balances reliable maintenance with realistic farming needs and daily workload on-farm conditions too.
Check service availability, repair support, and agricultural machinery compatibility before tractor selection. Future agricultural operations can change the required capacity, while long-term costs may matter more than the initial tractor lifetime assessment for your farm.
Green Tractor Scheme And Agriculture In Punjab
Punjab agriculture increasingly depends on agricultural mechanization, yet affordability shapes how farmers obtain tractors. The Green Tractor Scheme connects agricultural subsidy support with access, helping expand modern farming equipment without assuming every farm can purchase machinery.
From my review, Punjab Government support matters because farm machinery saves time across agricultural operations. Reducing manual labor can improve farming efficiency, strengthen mechanization, and support productivity for farmers managing seasonal work today.
