LAHORE: ‘Sahulat on the Go’ and other Punjab Sahulat Bazaars Authority (PSBA) projects will operate on a self-sustaining financial model. This will ensure that the bazaars remain financially viable without relying on recurring government subsidies. The initiative also aims to promote small businesses and local entrepreneurship by providing an affordable and regulated space for vendors to sell their goods. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was briefed about the ‘Sahulat on the Go’ initiative, which aims to make essential commodities more accessible and affordable through mobile bazaars. DNA
The project will begin as a pilot in Lahore before expanding to other districts. With a total investment of Rs630.50 million, the initiative is expected to generate Rs93.6 million in annual revenue.
The government plans to introduce 14 mobile bazaars in densely populated and high-traffic areas, removing encroachments and creating structured market spaces that enhance both accessibility and urban aesthetics. The project is scheduled for completion within three to four months, after which it will be extended to smaller tehsils across the province.
