Is Government To Launch PM Tractor Scheme for All Provinces in Pakistan February 2026
In recent weeks, many farmers and social media pages have been claiming that the Government of Pakistan is launching a Prime Minister Tractor Scheme for all provinces in February 2026. These claims have created confusion, especially among farmers in Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan who are waiting for tractor subsidies similar to Punjab.
As of today, no official federal announcement confirms a nationwide PM Tractor Scheme starting in February 2026. There is no notification from the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of National Food Security, or Federal Cabinet that supports these viral claims.
Most of the news people are seeing is actually linked to Punjab’s Green Tractor Scheme, which is a provincial program, not a federal one. This article explains the full situation clearly.
What Is the PM Tractor Scheme?
A PM Tractor Scheme usually refers to a federal-level agriculture subsidy program launched under the Prime Minister, meant to support farmers across all provinces equally.
In Pakistan’s history, tractor schemes have been launched at both federal and provincial levels. However, in recent years, agriculture support has shifted more toward provinces after the 18th Amendment, which gives provinces more control over agriculture policies.
Because of this, most current tractor schemes are provincial, not federal.
Current Reality: No Confirmed Federal PM Tractor Scheme for 2026
Despite strong rumors, the reality is simple:
- ❌ No federal PM Tractor Scheme has been officially announced
- ❌ No nationwide application portal is active
- ❌ No budget allocation for a federal tractor subsidy has been notified
- ❌ No February 2026 launch date has been confirmed
If a federal scheme were approved, it would appear in:
- Federal Cabinet decisions
- Ministry press releases
- Official government portals
- National budget documents
None of these currently confirm a PM Tractor Scheme for all provinces.
Why Are People Confused?
The confusion is mainly due to Punjab’s Green Tractor Scheme, which is one of the largest tractor subsidy programs in the country right now.
Many social media posts incorrectly label it as a “PM Tractor Scheme” even though it is clearly run by the Punjab government.
Punjab Green Tractor Scheme 2026 – What Is Actually Active
Punjab has launched Green Tractor Scheme Phase III in 2026 to support farmers with subsidized tractors.
Key Facts About Punjab Green Tractor Scheme
- Launched by Government of Punjab
- Managed by Punjab Agriculture Department
- Applies only to Punjab residents
- Uses balloting system
- Focuses on small and medium farmers
- Offers subsidy on locally manufactured tractors
This scheme is often misunderstood as a federal program, but it is not linked to the Prime Minister’s Office.
Does Punjab Scheme Apply to Other Provinces?
No.
Farmers from:
- Sindh
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
- Balochistan
- Gilgit Baltistan
- Azad Kashmir
are not eligible for Punjab’s Green Tractor Scheme.
Each province runs its own agriculture support programs based on its budget and priorities.
What About Other Provinces?
Sindh
Sindh government usually focuses on:
- Seed distribution
- Solar tube wells
- Small equipment support
There is no active tractor subsidy scheme announced for 2026 yet.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
KP has historically focused on:
- Irrigation improvement
- Livestock support
- Farm mechanization at a limited scale
No confirmed tractor subsidy program for February 2026 has been announced.
Balochistan
Balochistan’s agriculture support mainly targets:
- Water management
- Livestock
- Drought relief
Large-scale tractor subsidy programs are rare due to budget limitations.
Can Federal Government Launch a Tractor Scheme in 2026?
Yes, it is possible, but nothing is confirmed yet.
A federal PM Tractor Scheme would require:
- Federal Cabinet approval
- Budget allocation
- Clear eligibility criteria
- Province-wise quota system
- Official application process
Until these steps happen, any claim about a confirmed PM Tractor Scheme should be treated as rumor, not news.
Why Farmers Still Expect a PM Tractor Scheme
Farmers are hopeful because:
- Rising diesel and machinery costs
- Inflation in farm inputs
- Increased focus on food security
- Political pressure to support agriculture
A federal tractor scheme would help farmers nationwide, especially in underdeveloped regions. However, hope does not replace official confirmation.
What Should Farmers Do Right Now?
Farmers should:
- Follow official government websites only
- Avoid YouTube and Facebook claims without sources
- Check provincial agriculture department announcements
- Not pay any agent or middleman
- Wait for written notifications, not verbal claims
If a PM Tractor Scheme is launched, applications will be announced openly through official channels.
How to Identify Fake Tractor Scheme News
Fake or misleading posts usually:
- Do not mention official departments
- Ask for registration fees
- Share WhatsApp numbers instead of websites
- Promise guaranteed approval
- Use old photos from past schemes
Always verify before trusting such information.
February 2026: What Is Most Likely?
Based on current facts:
- Punjab will continue its tractor-related initiatives
- Other provinces may announce small-scale programs
- A nationwide PM Tractor Scheme is not confirmed
- Any federal scheme, if planned, will be announced officially
Until then, no farmer should assume eligibility under a PM-level program.
Final Verdict
As of now, there is no officially announced PM Tractor Scheme for all provinces in Pakistan starting February 2026.
What exists is:
- Punjab Green Tractor Scheme (provincial)
- Province-specific agriculture support programs
- Public expectations, not official confirmations
Farmers should stay alert, rely on verified sources, and avoid misinformation.
If the federal government announces a PM Tractor Scheme in the future, details will be shared openly and transparently.
There is no confirmed PM Tractor Scheme for all provinces in February 2026. Current tractor subsidies are provincial, mainly Punjab’s Green Tractor Scheme. Farmers should wait for official federal announcements and avoid unverified claims.
