Publication Year: 2017

Abstract:
This report is an outcome of the discussions and recommendations proposed by the stakeholders from innovation and urban mobility, business, and academia participants at the roundtable on the Future of Urban Mobility in India. As India’s urban hubs continue to become more congested and polluted and with increasing road fatalities and inequity in access, India will need to find a solution to fix its urban mobility crisis. The study summarises recommendations into three sections evaluating infrastructure and promoting innovation in mobility, regulation of the ridesharing industry, and adoption of dynamic pricing. Further, expanding public transportation services will be key to transforming mobility in India’s urban centres, along with efficient use of existing roads and smarter traffic management through technology-based interventions.
