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.

As of 2020, natural forests in India covered 44.4 million hectares, accounting for 15% of the country’s land area. In 2024 alone, India lost 150,000 hectares of natural forest—resulting in an estimated 68 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Every hectare lost weakens our resilience to climate change—conservation must be a shared responsibility.
