A TERI study reveals that transitioning to electric vehicles in 44 Indian cities by 2035 could drastically cut pollution. It projects a daily reduction of 11.5 tonnes of PM2.5 emissions and a significant decrease in greenhouse gases. The shift could also save billions on oil imports and generate numerous jobs in the EV and renewable energy sectors.

TERI undertook the project to forecast India’s transport demand until 2070-71, when the country aims to achieve net-zero emissions. The study assesses the sector’s baseline emission trajectory and explores strategies to mitigate emissions through technology-driven measures. These include improving fuel economy, promoting alternative fuel technologies, incorporating biofuel blends, and increasing the share of freight carried by railways, said Mr Sharif Qamar, Associate Director, TERI.
