India has the second largest road network in the world, with a total length of 5.89 million km. Road transport contributes towards 64.5% of the country’s overall goods movement and caters to 90% of India’s total passenger traffic. With rising income and rapid urbanisation, the Indian mobility market is expected to expand even further. Transportation therefore contributes significantly to India’s overall GHG emission.
To combat this, the study “Status quo analysis of various segments of Electric mobility and low carbon passenger road transport in India” examines the development of Low-Carbon Road Transport (LCRT)/E-mobility in India. The report was released in an e-launch event on 4 February 2021 (recording) and is part of the recently established Digital Library on Green Mobility (DLGM).
The recording of the event can be accessed here.
