Fuel consumption from light commercial vehicles in India in fiscal years 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24
This paper examines the fleet-average CO2 emissions of light commercial vehicles in India, analyzes the Indian fleet characteristics relative to the European Union, and examines the emissions performance of Indian commercial vehicle manufacturers.
Impact of a low-emission zone on air pollutants: A case study of Pimpri-Chinchwad, India
This paper evaluates the potential reduction in vehicle emissions that could be achieved by establishing a low-emission zone (LEZ) in Pimpri-Chinchwad, a city of about 2 million people in the state of Maharashtra, India.
Charging infrastructure in India: Incentives under FAME II and considerations for PM E-DRIVE
This study examines the performance of charging infrastructure component of FAME II, assesses charging infrastructure developed in India and offers policy considerations for charging infrastructure deployment under the latest PM E-DRIVE scheme.
Policy measures for public charging infrastructure barriers in Haryana
Outlines Haryana’s efforts to advance EV adoption as part of India’s broader climate goals, identifying barriers such as inter-departmental coordination challenges, outdated technological infrastructure, and high financial costs associated with capital investment and operation.
Real-world motor vehicle exhaust emissions in Delhi and Gurugram using remote sensing
Analyzes real-world emissions from vehicles in India’s National Capital Region through the TRUE Initiative.
Total cost of ownership parity between battery-electric trucks and diesel trucks in India
This study compares the TCO of internal combustion engine (ICE) diesel trucks and BETs in four segments—the 12-tonne, 16-tonne, 28-tonne and 42-tonne rigid truck—that have accounted for approximately 70% of the Indian truck market in recent years.
Real-driving emissions from Bharat Stage VI (phase 1) passenger cars and a light commercial vehicle in India – PEMS testing
Analyzes the real-driving emissions performance of four BS VI (phase 1) light-duty vehicles in India to explore the effectiveness of various emission control strategies used by manufacturers.
Electric vehicle demand incentives in India: The FAME II scheme and considerations for a potential next phase
This study offers insights on the second phase of Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME), India’s flagship electric vehicle (EV) promotion program, and presents policy considerations for future demand incentives and other government support for EV adoption.
Role of fuel efficiency norms in accelerating sales of electric vehicles in India
This policy brief examines how automotive manufacturing has evolved in India over the last three decades, the impact of India’s current CAFE standards, a case study of emission standards in Europe, and the potential for the next phase of CAFE standards in India to increase BEV sales to 30% of all vehicles.
A comparison of the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions from combustion and electric heavy-duty vehicles in India
Evaluates the greenhouse gas impacts of different heavy-duty vehicle technologies in India, showing that battery-electric vehicles offer the greatest emissions reductions, enhanced by renewable energy, whereas the benefits of fuel cell vehicles vary based on the hydrogen source.
