Maharashtra’s potential to advance transport decarbonization and clean air through low-emission zones
Maharashtra is among the pioneers of low-emission zones (LEZs) in India as its Electric Vehicle Policy, introduced in 2021, tasked six urban agglomerations with creating LEZs.
Low-emission Zones – a catalyst for improving transit infrastructure in cities
As cities in India consider similar interventions to address the issue of pollution and traffic congestion, there is a need to assess whether the infrastructure existing in our cities is adequate to support low-emission zones (LEZ).
India’s plan to expand shore power infrastructure at major ports
In Harit Sagar Green Port Guidelines, among the land-based initiatives are electrification of port vehicles and cargo-handling machinery and phased adoption of alternative fuels by trucks that transport cargo. To reduce sea-based emissions, Harit Sagar endorsed the use of shore power and cleaner alternative fuels to operate port crafts.
