Roadmap for Electrification of Urban Freight in India
August 1, 2019 to
December 19, 2020
| Transport
Urban freight movement forms a crucial part of the urban ecosystem. It is a fundamental part of the overall transportation supply chain. Movement of goods originating from or outside the urban periphery which enters into an urban area through commercial road vehicles forms the urban freight network. Such movement is usually catered by both light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M/HCVs) depending upon volume of goods carried, distance travelled, and the service area to be catered.
Distribution Utilities Forum: A stakeholder forum for key actors in electricity distribution sector
February 26, 2018 to
May 31, 2020
| Energy Access
A stakeholder forum for key actors in the power distribution sector
There are more than 50 discoms in the country, the leadership of which never get a chance to meet with their peers in an independent environment to share their views, learnings and challenges or to advocate change. The project seeks to establish a forum to help distribution companies across India come together and share concerns as well as cross learnings.
Strengthening national MRV systems - Options and approaches for India
October 1, 2017 to
April 30, 2020
| Climate Change
The countries adopted Paris Agreement and set an ambitious goal of keeping the increase in temperature well below 2°C. Almost all countries put forward their INDCs as a start towards meeting this goal. Further, the countries also agreed to undertake regular stocktaking to assess whether countries will be able to reach their commitment and to what extent are the efforts of countries enabling to keep the GHG emissions trajectory on track with the above-mentioned goal.

August 14, 2019 to
April 20, 2020
| Energy Access
The project aims to study the opportunities for solar energy based electricity in MSMEs in rural India
Special studies for sustainable groundwater management in urban area of Lucknow
December 1, 2018 to
March 31, 2020
| Water
The study finds that the groundwater exploitation in Lucknow is 17 times more than the rate of recharge and projects a decline in the water table in various areas of the city
Developing Strategies for Control of Air Pollution in India and its Cities
June 26, 2018 to
March 31, 2020
| Air
As part of India's efforts to curb air pollution, the project provides technical assistance to MoEF&CC on the National Clean Air Action Programme.
Impact Assessment of increasing solar PV penetration into the Indian electricity distribution grid
September 1, 2016 to
February 29, 2020
As a part of its efforts to decarbonize the power sector, India has an ambitious plan for achieving 175GW of installed capacity from renewable energy sources, comprising 100GW of solar including 40GW of rooftop solar PV. In order to ensure safe and secure operation of the distribution network, it is necessary to critically assess the likely impact of solar rooftop penetration whose output is variable in nature. The nature and complexity of technical and operational issues would vary depending upon the relative magnitude, local utilization & grid characteristics.
Climate Transparency activities in seven G20 countries
April 1, 2018 to
February 29, 2020
| Climate Change
The project aimed to enhance availability of credible, concise and comparable information as a basis for stakeholder engagement, policy change and higher ambition in G20.
All information produced under the project will be published and made available through the website www.climate-transparency.org
Water Conservation through Rejuvenation of Pond with Participatory Community Engagement
January 1, 2018 to
December 31, 2019
| Water
Water is a prerequisite for all the development activities and its conservation and efficient management needs to take center stage for sustainable development. India faces major challenges with declining per capita water availability and stands stressed with rising water demand mainly from the already competing agriculture, domestic and industrial sectors. In order to respond to these growing challenges, it is imperative that water conservation interventions should be mandated as an integral part of water use and management in India.
