Addressing the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Bhupender Yadav reiterated India's long-term goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070.
The Indian government is actively promoting sustainable mobility through various initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency. Key efforts include the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), with significant investments in charging infrastructure and incentives for EV manufacturers and buyers. The FAME II scheme, for instance, provides subsidies to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles. Additionally, the government is focusing on alternative fuels like hydrogen, biofuels, and natural gas, alongside improving public transportation systems to make them more eco-friendly. There's also an emphasis on developing smart cities with integrated transport solutions that prioritize sustainability. These measures are part of a broader strategy to meet India's climate commitments and foster a cleaner, greener transport ecosystem.
