The E-Fan Scheme, officially the Prime Minister’s Fan Replacement Program (also known as Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan), was launched in February 2026 by the National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority (NEECA) and the Power Division. This initiative lets eligible Pakistani households replace old, inefficient ceiling fans with NEECA 5-star rated energy-efficient fans — paying just a small upfront service fee while financing the rest through easy monthly installments on your electricity bill.
The registration process is 100% online, quick, and transparent. No need to visit offices — do it from your phone or computer in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, or anywhere in Pakistan via the official portal efan.gov.pk or the NEECA mobile app.
Why Register for the E-Fan Scheme?
