Punjab’s farmers are entering the final window to benefit from one of the province’s most impactful agriculture initiatives. The Green Tractor Scheme Phase 3 is now in its closing stage, and 20 January 2026 has been set as the final date for registration. After this deadline, no new applications will be accepted.
This phase focuses on direct cost relief for small and medium farmers, helping them shift from manual or rented machinery to modern tractors at heavily subsidized prices.
Why Phase 3 of the Green Tractor Scheme Is Important
Rising diesel costs, labor shortages, and delayed cultivation have increased pressure on farmers. Phase 3 is designed to address these issues by making powerful tractors affordable, allowing farmers to:
-
Prepare land faster
-
Reduce dependence on rented machinery
-
Improve crop timing and yields
Unlike loans, this scheme offers straight subsidies, reducing the upfront burden permanently.
How Much Subsidy Farmers Get (Key Benefit)
Under Phase 3, eligible farmers can receive:
-
Subsidy up to Rs. 1,000,000 (10 lakh rupees) per tractor
-
Applied directly to the tractor price
-
Farmer pays only the remaining balance
Tractor Categories Covered
-
Medium tractors (50–65 HP) – locally manufactured
-
High-power tractors (75–125 HP) – local and selected imported models
This subsidy can reduce the tractor cost by 30–50%, depending on the model.

Farmers can apply if they meet these conditions:
-
