E-Fan Scheme 2026 Complete Guide: Prime Minister’s Fan Replacement Program (Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan)

In February 2026, the Government of Pakistan launched the Prime Minister’s Fan Replacement Program (also known as Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan or E-Fan Scheme) to combat rising electricity bills and reduce national energy consumption. Managed by the National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority (NEECA) under the Power Division, this initiative replaces old, inefficient ceiling fans with modern NEECA 5-star rated energy-efficient fans.

The program aims to replace millions of outdated fans (initial target: 10 million, with long-term goals up to 88 million inefficient fans nationwide), potentially saving up to 5000 MW in peak power demand and cutting household electricity bills significantly.

Key Benefits of the E-Fan Scheme 2026

• Annual savings of up to Rs. 12,000 per fan through 30-70% lower electricity use (depending on the model and usage).
• Old fans no longer mandatory to return – you can keep, sell, or dispose of them.
• Minimal upfront cost: Only Rs. 1,000 service fee per fan; the rest is financed via low-interest installments added to your monthly electricity bill.
• On-bill financing through banks and easy repayment (typically 6–18 months).
• Government support: Backed by a Rs. 2 billion first-loss risk guarantee from the Ministry of Finance to enable smooth financing.
• Environmental impact: Reduces carbon emissions and eases pressure on the national grid.
• Open to domestic and commercial consumers across all DISCOs (e.g., IESCO, LESCO, MEPCO, etc.), with special focus on low- and middle-income households.

Eligibility Criteria

• You must be a registered electricity consumer in Pakistan (domestic or commercial).
• Own old/inefficient ceiling fans (non-5-star rated models qualify).
• Provide valid CNIC, mobile number, and electricity bill reference number.
• No strict income limit, but priority for high-consumption and low-income users.
• Available nationwide via any DISCO.
