Punjab Green Tractor Programme 2026-27: 19,500 Tractors, Rs 750,000–1 Million Subsidy

The Punjab Agriculture Department has included two major tractor-subsidy initiatives in its 2026-27 Chief Minister’s Initiatives: a low-power Green Tractor programme and a separate high-power tractor programme. Together, the published targets cover 19,500 subsidised tractors.

The new allocation follows earlier Green Tractor phases in 2025-26. Farmers should note that the 2026-27 programme targets and eligibility thresholds are different from some older phase information circulating online.

The Agriculture Department’s current initiative page lists:

• Low Power Green Tractor Programme (Phase IV): 10,000 tractors.
• High Power Tractor Programme (Phase V): 9,500 tractors.

The combined published target is 19,500 tractors for the 2026-27 initiatives.

Low-power tractors: horsepower and subsidy

For the low-power Green Tractor Programme Phase IV, the department publishes:

• Horsepower range: 50 to 65 HP.
• Target: 10,000 subsidised tractors.
• Minimum landholding: 5 acres and above.
• Subsidy: Rs 750,000 per tractor.

This is a larger per-tractor subsidy than the Rs 500,000 subsidy published for an earlier 2025-26 low-power phase.

High-power tractors: horsepower and subsidy

The high-power Phase V initiative targets larger farms and higher-horsepower tractors:

• Horsepower range: 75 to 125 HP.
• Target: 9,500 subsidised tractors.
• Minimum landholding: 7 acres and above.
• Subsidy: Rs 1,000,000 per tractor.

A farmer with land below the published threshold should not assume that ownership of a CNIC or previous Kissan Card automatically satisfies the tractor criteria.

Which option is relevant for a farmer?

The low-power and high-power schemes are designed for different machinery needs:

• A farmer with at least 5 acres who needs a 50-65 HP tractor should watch the low-power Phase IV registration.
• A farmer with at least 7 acres who requires a 75-125 HP tractor should watch the high-power Phase V registration.

The correct tractor size should be based on farm operations, implements, acreage and cropping requirements rather than applying only because a larger subsidy is available.

Is registration open right now?

The 2026-27 Agriculture Department initiative page currently publishes the programme targets, landholding requirements and subsidy amounts. Farmers should check the official Green Tractor portal and Agriculture Department announcements for the opening of the relevant registration/balloting window.

Do not use an application date from an older Phase II or Phase III advertisement for the new 2026-27 Phase IV or Phase V programme.

How did the earlier Green Tractor phases work?

Previous phases used online registration, farmer/land verification, balloting where applications exceeded the quota, and a payment/tractor-allotment process for successful applicants.

The Agriculture Department also provided an online result/login system for earlier phases. This makes it reasonable for farmers to prepare their records before the new phase opens, but the exact 2026-27 application procedure should be taken from the new advertisement when issued.

What farmers should prepare now

Before a new registration window opens, farmers can reduce the risk of application problems by checking:

• CNIC is valid and not expired.
• Mobile number is active and preferably registered in the applicant’s own name.
• Agricultural land records correctly show the farmer’s ownership/holding.
• The farm meets the minimum acreage for the intended tractor category.
• Any previous Kissan Card or agriculture-scheme obligations are in good standing.

Will every eligible farmer receive a tractor?

No. Eligibility allows a farmer to enter the programme process; it does not guarantee allotment. The published targets are limited to 10,000 low-power and 9,500 high-power tractors.

If valid applications exceed the quota, the Agriculture Department can use a selection or balloting mechanism similar to previous phases.

What does the subsidy actually mean?

The government subsidy reduces the eligible tractor cost for the selected farmer. It is not a separate unrestricted cash payment that the farmer can withdraw for another purpose.

The farmer is responsible for the remaining amount and any process defined by the programme for payment, dealer selection and delivery.

Why the 2026-27 numbers matter

The current Agriculture Department plan allocates billions of rupees to the two tractor initiatives. The low-power Phase IV scheme has a published project cost of about Rs 7.648 billion, while the high-power Phase V initiative is listed at about Rs 9.597 billion.

The scale indicates that farm mechanisation remains a major Punjab agriculture priority for the 2026-27 year.

How to avoid fake tractor registrations

• Use only Punjab government and Agriculture Department links.
• Do not transfer money to a person claiming to reserve a tractor before an official selection.
• Do not trust an old advertisement showing a different subsidy and call it the 2026-27 phase.
• Confirm the horsepower category and land threshold before submitting an application.
• Keep a copy or reference number of any official online application.
