The Government of India launched the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) India scheme to promote the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. The scheme aims to incentivize the production and purchase of electric vehicles and establish charging infrastructure.

India aims to achieve 30% electric vehicle penetration by 2030 as part of its broader electric mobility vision. This target includes both electric cars and two-wheelers.

The NEMMP aims to encourage the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles in India, with the goal of reducing oil dependence, lowering emissions, and promoting sustainable transportation.

Several Indian states have formulated their own electric vehicle policies to accelerate the adoption of EVs. These policies include incentives for EV manufacturers, subsidies for consumers, and measures to develop charging infrastructure.

The United Nations has outlined a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), which are relevant to promoting sustainable transportation, including electric vehicles.

The Paris Agreement, under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Electric vehicles play a role in achieving this goal by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.

This initiative aims to promote universal access to modern energy services, improve energy efficiency, and increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. Electric vehicles contribute to these objectives by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting the use of clean energy for transportation.

The United Nations' 2030 Agenda includes targets related to sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and combating climate change. Electric vehicles can help advance these targets by reducing pollution, promoting sustainable transportation options, and supporting the transition to clean energy.

Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.

EVs are more energy-efficient than conventional vehicles, as electric motors convert a higher percentage of energy from the battery into driving power compared to internal combustion engines.

EVs can be charged using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power, facilitating the transition to a low-carbon energy system.

By eliminating tailpipe emissions, EVs help improve air quality in urban areas, reducing the health risks associated with pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Electric motors are quieter than internal combustion engines, leading to reduced noise pollution in cities and communities.

EVs require fewer natural resources for operation compared to conventional vehicles, as they have fewer moving parts and do not rely on fossil fuels.

Efforts are being made to develop technologies for recycling EV batteries, minimizing environmental impact and reducing the demand for raw materials.

Despite emissions associated with battery production, lifecycle analyses often show that EVs have lower overall emissions compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged with renewable energy.

EV batteries can be used to store excess renewable energy and provide grid stability through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, enhancing the flexibility of the electricity grid.

By reducing reliance on imported oil, EVs contribute to energy security and reduce vulnerability to geopolitical tensions and oil price fluctuations.

The growing EV industry creates opportunities for employment in manufacturing, research and development, infrastructure deployment, and related sectors.

The transition to electric mobility is driving innovation in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and transportation services, fostering economic growth and competitiveness.
