The Urban Development and Housing Department of Madhya Pradesh published “Madhya Pradesh Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2019” on 1st November 2019 to accomplish the objectives of ‘Electric Vehicle Initiative (EVI). 

This EV policy is developed with objectives, designed for direct and indirect impact on multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the Government of Punjab.

More than ever before, cities and their surroundings are centers of opportunity and innovation. As humanity urbanizes in record numbers, challenges of enhancing access, mitigating congestion, elevating safety, and improving air quality become essential needs to provide access to opportunities.

The policy outlines special incentives and concessions to attract investments in EV manufacturing capacity, EV battery manufacturing and assembling capacity, and the development of charging and swapping infrastructure for EVs in Uttarakhand.

The Vision of Gujarat State Electric Vehicle Policy 2019 is to position Gujarat as a leader in the adoption of electric vehicles as well as establish a supportive environment to encourage manufacturers and investors for the development of the EV market.

An international peer-reviewed journal, Energy policy is addressing the policy implications of energy supply and use from their economic, social, planning and environmental aspects.

Electric buses (e-buses) can help cities address air quality issues and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (along with a clean grid).

The FAME India scheme was launched in April 2015 with the agenda to ramp up and meet the goals of National Electric Mobility Mission 2020. Department of Heavy Industry initiated the launch of Phase II of FAME on April 1, 2019 (to be implemented over a period of three years) based on the outcomes and experiences gained during Phase I from stakeholders for implementation along with the appropriate allocation of funds.

The monograph series Green Energy and Technology serves as a publishing platform for scientific and technological approaches to “green”—i.e. environmentally friendly and sustainable—technologies. While a focus lies on energy and power supply. 

Large-scale electrification is a necessary step down this road, and bus fleets are an opportunity to make an outsized impact on air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in dense urban environments.
