In Karnataka, India, the Industries commissioner, Gunjan Krishna, announced the forthcoming 'Clean Mobility Policy' to enhance the state's electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. The policy, inspired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's vision, aims to promote sustainable transportation by providing incentives to manufacturers and users, installing charging stations in commercial and government buildings, and encouraging the integration of EVs in public transportation. Notably, the policy also emphasizes the utilization of hydrogen fuel for industrial and transport applications, aligning with India's broader hydrogen mission. The unveiling took place at the Climate Pledge event, introducing JOULE, an EV charging network dedicated to improving last-mile connectivity. Additionally, plans for a large-scale battery recycling plant in Bengaluru and the adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) in EV components signify a holistic approach towards building a sustainable EV ecosystem. The policy further includes initiatives to support green and sustainable practices in companies and promote women empowerment in the workforce. Collaborative efforts with organizations such as ARAI and NASSCOM aim to enhance manufacturing techniques, focusing on sustainability and modernization within industries. The Climate Pledge initiative, co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, aims to establish multiple charging stations powered by renewable energy to support approximately 5,500 EVs by 2030. Companies like Amazon, Mahindra Logistics, Uber, HCLTech, and Magenta Mobility have already joined hands to set up these stations, contributing to the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
