Charging needs for truck terminals in India: A case study of Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar, Delhi
India must achieve 100% zero-emission truck (ZET) sales by no later than 2050 to meet its Net-Zero target. Transitioning to battery electric trucks (BETs) in India’s freight operations is key to reaching this goal: previous research by the ICCT has found that BETs emit 17%–37% lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than diesel counterparts and 85%–88% lower emissions when powered by dedicated renewable electricity.
Charging infrastructure needed to support India’s full transition to battery electric trucks by 2050
India’s net-zero by 2070 pledge requires achieving 100% zero-emission truck sales by 2050. While viable technologies exist, timely truck decarbonization is crucial to ease pressure on harder-to-abate sectors. Recent policies, including fuel efficiency regulations and the PM E-DRIVE scheme, provide incentives for battery electric trucks and charging infrastructure, but high-power chargers along freight corridors and logistics hubs can help to ensure adoption.
Emissions reduction and benefits of the first 3,825 electric buses under PM-eBus Sewa
Although buses constitute just 1% of the vehicle population in India, they contribute approximately 15% of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transportation. To help address this, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) initiated the PM-eBus Sewa scheme, which aims to deploy 10,000 electric buses (e-buses) across 100 cities with populations exceeding 300,000. In December 2023, Convergence Energy Services Ltd.
