Today News: New Electric Bike Plant Coming to Sheikhupura
Punjab’s electric vehicle sector is set to grow further with a new joint venture between a Chinese company and a local EV firm. China’s G-Force Group has signed an agreement to manufacture and trade electric vehicle products in the province, and a new electric bike plant in Punjab will be set up at Quaid-e-Azam Business Park in Sheikhupura.
The deal also includes a separate plant for batteries and EV charging stations. Here is a detailed look at what was signed, who was involved, and how this investment could affect e-bike prices, jobs and the wider shift to electric transport in Punjab.
New Electric Bike Plant in Punjab: Deal Details
Under the joint venture agreement, the responsibilities have been divided as follows:
- The local EV company will set up an electric bike manufacturing plant at Quaid-e-Azam Business Park, Sheikhupura.
- G-Force Group will set up a plant to make batteries and EV charging stations in Punjab.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Chinese partner | G-Force Group |
| Local partner chairman | Dr. Muhammad Amjad |
| E-bike plant location | Quaid-e-Azam Business Park, Sheikhupura |
| Second plant | Batteries and EV charging stations |
| Chief guest | Chaudhry Shafay Hussain, Punjab Industries Minister |
| Signing venue | PISC House, Davis Road, Lahore |
Signing Ceremony in Lahore
The agreement was signed at PISC House on Davis Road, Lahore. Punjab’s Minister for Industries and Commerce, Chaudhry Shafay Hussain, attended as the chief guest. G-Force Group China Director Zhang Rui and the local company’s chairman, Dr. Muhammad Amjad, signed the agreement on behalf of their companies.
Speaking at the event, the minister said the Punjab government was focusing on expanding the EV sector under the Chief Minister’s leadership. He added that several electric two-wheeler factories are already operating in the province, while more local and foreign companies are setting up their own manufacturing facilities.
Electric Bikes to Replace Petrol Motorcycles
The minister said that electric bikes could gradually replace petrol motorcycles in the coming years. This shift would help reduce noise and air pollution, which is a serious issue in cities like Lahore, especially during the smog season.
He also highlighted investment opportunities in Punjab’s special economic zones and encouraged Chinese investors to set up plants for EV charging station equipment in the province. A wider charging network is one of the biggest needs for electric vehicle users today.
Jobs and Investment for Punjab
According to Shafay Hussain, the joint venture will bring new investment to Punjab and create employment opportunities. He said growing investment by Chinese companies is strengthening economic ties between Pakistan and China.
For local workers, new factories in Sheikhupura could mean jobs in assembly, quality control, battery handling, logistics and sales. For suppliers, it could open opportunities to provide parts and services to the new plants. Sheikhupura already has good road links with Lahore and the motorway network, which makes it a practical location for factories that need to move finished bikes, batteries and parts quickly to markets across the province.
What It Means for E-Bike Buyers
More local factories usually mean more choice and steadier supply for customers. Benefits buyers may see over time include:
- More locally assembled models in the market.
- Easier access to batteries and spare parts.
- More EV charging stations across the province.
- Better supply for government programmes like the Punjab student e-bike scheme.
This is not the only sign of growth in the sector. Millat has also signed a deal for local production, which you can read about in our post on the Millat electric motorcycle agreement.
