Status of Electric Buses in India aims to provide the status of the e-buses across cities and discuss their experience. E-buses have been adopted before India in some countries, hence, this report also discusses the global experience. Since the e-bus is a new and emerging technology, it is essential to understand various aspects of e-bus, battery and charging technology as well as the charging strategy, which is covered comprehensively in this report.

Many Indian cities rely on informal public transportation systems (IPT), which serve as feeders to mass transit and fill gaps.  Status of Electric Informal Public Transport in India aims to provide the current status of IPT e-rickshaws and addresses the role of stakeholders in promoting sustainable IPT practices while also examining growing vehicle technology and IPT developments.

Micromobility solutions such as bicycles and scooters – electric and non-electric – offer a great alternative to address first and last-mile connectivity,  air pollution, noise pollution and congestion. Report on E-Micro Mobility in India also talks about the policies and initiatives to promote e-micro mobility in India.

Pune boasts commendable figures in non-motorised and public transport, accounting for 53 percent of mode share trips. However, this positive trajectory is at risk of reversal. Data from 2016-17 reveals concerning statistics: Pune accommodates 2.3 million two-wheelers and 700,000 four-wheelers. A particularly alarming fact emerges—Pune ranks second in vehicle density among Indian cities, with 1,260 vehicles per kilometre. This stark reality prompted city administrators to recognize the urgency of preemptive measures for urban mobility. 

We believe that creating Healthy Streets—streets that prioritise walking, cycling, and access to public transport—will not only improve road safety but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve access to economic opportunities, and create a people-friendly city for all.
