How country is accelerating toward a green transportation future | India News


India is making significant strides in its quest for sustainable transportation, as the government and private sector ramp up efforts to promote green mobility solutions.

From electric vehicles (EVs) to public transit innovations, the country’s green transportation initiatives are gaining momentum, paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient future.

The government has been proactive in introducing policies and incentives to support green transportation.

“Green transportation is a priority for us as we aim to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Our policies are designed to make electric vehicles more accessible and affordable for all,” said Nitin Gadkari, minister of road transport and highways.

Highlighting the progress, Ekansh Gogia and Eklavya Gogia, founders of Altier Electric Vehicles, said, “The EV market in India is witnessing rapid growth, with a significant increase in both sales and manufacturing capacity. In 2023, the sale of electric two-wheelers and cars surged by 150%, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences towards more eco-friendly options.”

Furthermore, startups are playing a crucial role in this transition. Companies like Altier Electric Vehicles are making headlines with their innovative electric rickshaws, E cargos, and delivery vans.

Ekansh Gogia and Eklavya Gogia believe that continued government support, coupled with technological advancements and increased consumer awareness, will be key to overcoming these challenges.
