Scaling up material recovery and safe disposal of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) is a critical policy priority in India. This working paper evaluates the 2025 Environment Protection (ELV) Rules, which mark India’s first comprehensive attempt to regulate the entire life cycle of ELVs through steel scrap-based extended producer responsibility (EPR). The paper assesses whether the current EPR framework can support the country’s vehicle recycling and circular economy goals.

This piece was originally published in ET Auto. The Delhi Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026-2030, notified on June 30, 2026, is redefining the state EV policy landscape in India by shifting from a reliance on incentives to EV mandates to promote EV adoption. Among the vehicle groups targeted by the policy are buses: the policy sets a target for all newly inducted state-owned public transport buses to be electric.

This piece was originally published in ET Auto. Once again, a geopolitical crisis in an oil-producing region has sent shockwaves through global energy markets. From the war in Ukraine to recent tensions in West Asia, disruptions in oil supply have repeatedly triggered volatility in global crude oil prices. The recent increase in petrol and diesel prices in India highlights how such global disruptions continue to affect domestic fuel markets.

Supersonic aircraft are back in the news again, this time due to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s proposal to allow supersonic flights over the continental United States. That proposal responds to the conservative movement to “Make America Boom Again” and President’s Trump’s June 2025 Executive Order directing FAA to replace the current overland flight ban with a performance-based sonic boom standard.

Como resultado de la colaboración entre la Alianza ZEBRA y el Gobierno Nacional de Colombia, esta guía ofrece una hoja de ruta práctica para la formulación, estructuración y presentación de proyectos de transporte público con flotas de buses eléctricos. El documento explica de manera clara los requisitos técnicos, financieros, legales, institucionales, sociales y de sostenibilidad exigidos por la normativa vigente, facilitando el acceso a mecanismos de cofinanciación nacional.

This piece was originally published in ET Auto. The Delhi government’s proposal to phase out internal combustion engine (ICE) three-wheelers by 2027 and two-wheelers by 2028 under its draft EV Policy 2.0 is a bold and commendable step forward. It raises familiar concerns about ambition, consumer costs, and market readiness. The central question, though, is whether a mandated transition in these segments would be economically disruptive. Evidence increasingly suggests it is not.

(Berlin) 14 July 2026—  Expanding EU carbon pricing to international flights could generate over €14 billion in annual revenue, with carbon leakage—the risk of emissions shifting outside Europe as passengers re-route to avoid the charge—limited to a maximum of 3.1% across all scenarios assessed, according to new research from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).

This report quantifies carbon leakage risks and potential revenues under various scenarios for expanding the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to flights beyond the European Economic Area (EEA). It models 10 scope designs, assessing the risk that a carbon price on these flights shifts emissions from passengers and freight outside the regulated perimeter.
