The Sindh Government has announced a target of providing electric scooters to 50,000 women who obtain driving licences, expanding its Pink Electric Scooty initiative across the province. Sindh Senior Minister for Information and Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the target during a Pink Scooty distribution ceremony in Mirpurkhas in late September 2026.
Importantly, 50,000 is the announced expansion target—not 50,000 scooters already distributed. The programme is being expanded in phases, with scooters provided to eligible women after the required training, licensing and selection process.
Sindh Pink Scooty Scheme 2026 – Latest Update
The Sindh government's initiative is intended to improve independent mobility for women, particularly students and working women. At the Mirpurkhas ceremony, the transport minister said the programme would continue and ultimately reach eligible women across Sindh's districts.
Recent official and reported details include:
- Target announced: Up to 50,000 women with driving licences
- Scheme: Pink Electric Scooty Scheme
- Province: Sindh
- Beneficiaries: Women only
- Registration: Online through Sindh Mass Transit Authority
- Selection: Verification and transparent balloting
- Priority groups: Widows, single mothers, working women and students
- Driving requirement: Training/licensing requirements apply
- Cost: Scooters being distributed under the free-scooter initiative
The official registration system currently accepts applications exclusively from women and says applications will undergo verification before final selection through balloting.
Who Can Apply for the Pink Scooty Scheme?
The official Sindh Mass Transit Authority registration portal states that the programme is exclusively for female applicants. It identifies widows, single mothers, working women and students as priority categories.
Applicants are asked to provide their personal information, CNIC, division, address and applicant category during registration.
The official form also includes options relating to riding training and assistance with obtaining a learning licence.
Permanent Driving Licence Important for Scooter Distribution
Women interested in receiving a scooter should pay particular attention to the driving-licence requirements.
At the September 2026 Mirpurkhas event, Sharjeel Memon said scooters are being provided after women receive training and pass the required driving test. Recent reporting also quotes him as saying a permanent driving licence and successful driving test are required to receive a scooter, and a learner licence alone is not sufficient for final scooter allocation.
This distinction is important because the official registration form currently asks applicants to provide learning-licence information and offers support for training/licensing. Registration should therefore not be confused with final eligibility to receive a scooter.
Documents Required for Online Registration
According to the current official SMTA registration form, applicants are asked to upload:
- CNIC copy
- Domicile copy
- PRC copy
- Learning motorbike licence
- Student or employee card
The portal accepts JPG, PNG and PDF files, with a stated maximum file size of 5MB per document.

50,000 Scooters – What Has Actually Been Announced?
The recent headline has caused some confusion. The Sindh government has not announced that all 50,000 scooters have already been distributed.
Rather, Sharjeel Memon said the government wants to provide EV scooters to 50,000 women who obtain driving licences and that the distribution process will continue.
Earlier reporting from August 2026 stated that 925 scooters were allocated in the first phase and 476 in the second phase, while more than 810 had been distributed by that point.
The new 50,000 figure therefore represents a much larger intended scale for the programme.
Free Driving Training for Women
Training is another important part of the initiative. The government has been providing women with riding and related training, with programmes operating in cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas and Shaheed Benazirabad.
The current SMTA registration form also asks applicants whether they require riding training or assistance obtaining a learning licence.
Selection Through Balloting
Submitting an application does not automatically guarantee a free scooter.
The official registration portal states that applications will be verified and final selection will take place through a transparent balloting process.
Applicants should therefore provide accurate information and genuine documents during registration.
Pink Scooty Scheme Helpline
Women who need assistance with registration can contact the dedicated Pink Scooty helpline listed by the Sindh Mass Transit Authority:
Helpline: 0309-1365354
The official SMTA site also lists its toll-free contact number as 0800-07682.

Final Words
The Sindh Pink Electric Scooty Scheme 2026 is undergoing a significant expansion, with the provincial government announcing an ambition to provide electric scooters to 50,000 women who obtain driving licences. The initiative is intended to improve women's access to education, employment and independent transportation across Sindh.
