Abstract:

This report provides the results of an inter-model comparison exercise undertaken by five modelling teams to analyse the future growth of India’s transport sector and to evaluate the role of various transport sector policies in reducing transport related energy emissions in India. The research teams, based on consultations with the advisory board, the internal steering committee, and various other stakeholders, modelled three scenarios to reflect the implications of select policy-driven strategies that could play a key role in the decarbonisation of India’s transport sector. The scenarios were designed to explore the effects of different policies on final energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This study addresses long-term implications of the potential realization of decarbonisation policies in the transportation sector.
