India is driving towards sustainable transportation by emphasizing electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative fuels like hydrogen and biofuels. The EV market in India witnessed substantial growth in 2023, with over 1.5 million units sold, primarily driven by electric two-wheelers. Government support through schemes like FAME India is pivotal in expanding the EV market. The country is also exploring alternative fuels such as hydrogen fuel cells and biofuels to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources. India's National Hydrogen Energy Mission aims to position the country as a global hydrogen exporter, while initiatives like the Ethanol Blended Petrol scheme promote the use of biofuels. The integration of renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, is contributing to the green mobility sector, with solar-powered EV charging stations proving to be economically viable. Advancements in technology, including V2G, IoT, AI, and smart mobility solutions, are enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of India's transportation industry. Despite progress, challenges like high initial costs and inadequate charging infrastructure remain. India's commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through initiatives to make transportation greener and more efficient.
