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.

National Bird Day highlights the vital role birds play in ecosystems — from seed dispersal and pest control to serving as indicators of environmental health — while drawing attention to threats such as habitat loss, climate change, and illegal trade.
India’s national bird, the Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), designated in 1963, is listed as “Least Concern” by the IUCN but faces local pressures from habitat loss and human–wildlife conflict. Protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, it supports ecosystem balance through insect control and seed dispersal.
