Key projects

At the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, India set an ambitious target of attaining net-zero emissions by 2070 and a 45% reduction in the emissions intensity of its GDP below the 2005 levels by 2030. The transport sector holds responsible for 14 percent of energy-related CO2 emissions, and it also accounts for 70 percent of total diesel consumption and 100 percent of gasoline consumption.

Accounting for around 15% of total vehicular movement, urban freight activities contribute significantly to the local air pollution, as commercial vehicle segment is largely dependent on conventional fuels. With rapid increase in freight activity, well-planned efforts toward achieving net-zero emissions target by 2070 are crucial.

India can cut over 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030 through clean energy, electric mobility, green hydrogen, and energy efficiency. Key targets—like 500 GW of non-fossil capacity and 30% EV adoption—support India’s path to net zero by 2070, as outlined in its Long-Term Low Emissions Strategy (LT-LEDS).
