Abstract:

Many states have announced ambitious electrification targets in their EV policies. This is keeping in line with India’s statements at COP 26 while signing the declaration for 100 per cent transition to zero emissions by 2030–40; and with NITI Aayog’s ambitious aims to electrify all vehicle segments. The promises are many and the aims are high but, this report asks the question, are there adequate and appropriate policy strategies in place to support and drive this ambition?
