Under the Punjab Clean Air Program (PCAP), implemented by the Transport & Masstransit Department, Government of the Punjab, the provincial government has extended the vehicle inspection and fitness certification regime to include two-wheelers (motorcycles) as part of its comprehensive clean air and road safety reforms.
The PCAP aims to reduce air pollution through targeted reforms in the transport sector, including stricter vehicle inspection requirements and the gradual reduction of emissions from polluting vehicles. Keeping in view, the Provincial Motor Vehicles (Second Amendment) Act, 2025, has been passed by the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab and assented to by the Governor of the Punjab. The amendment extends the relevant provisions of the Provincial Motor Vehicles Ordinance, 1965, to motorcycles, thereby bringing two-wheelers within the formal vehicle inspection and fitness certification framework.
Under the amended legal framework, motorcycles have been included in the Fifteenth Schedule relating to Fitness Certificates. As per the revised schedule, motorcycles of all engine capacities will require fitness certification one year after the date of manufacture, with the certificate remaining valid for one year.
