Reports and studies

  • Electrifying road transport with less mining : A global and regional battery material outlook Eyal Li, Georg Bieker, and Arijit Sen / ICCT, December 2024: https://theicct.org/publication/ev-battery-materials-demand-supply-dec24/ - This study projects the demand for electric vehicle batteries and battery materials globally and in five focus markets—China, the European Union, India, Indonesia, and the United States—resulting from policies and targets that have already been adopted or are under discussion. This is compared with announced battery cell production and mineral supply capacities. The study covers all segments of road transport, including sales in the light-duty, heavy-duty, and two- and three-wheeler vehicle segments as well as non-vehicular demand.

  • New Approaches for Integrated Multimodal Transport Systems Editors: Dhaval Desai and Nandan Dawda // Observer Research Foundation (ORF), December 2024, https://www.orfonline.org/research/new-approaches-for-integrated-multimodal-transport-systems - This report with 12 essays explores innovative strategies for developing integrated multimodal transport systems, focusing on enhancing connectivity, efficiency, and sustainability in urban mobility in India.

  • Promoting Behaviour Change towards Walking & Cycling ITDP India, October 2024: https://itdp.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Behaviour-Change-report-.pdf - In recent years, India has seen several behaviors change campaigns at both city and national levels, all aimed at encouraging walking and cycling. These initiatives emerged alongside the development of crucial infrastructure, highlighting that while building infrastructure is vital, motivating people to use it is equally important. This new report called, ‘Promoting Behaviour Change towards Walking & Cycling’, offers a comprehensive look at these campaigns.

  • EV Ready India: Union Policy Updates 2024 OMI Foundation, September 2024: https://omifoundation.medium.com/ev-ready-india-union-policy-updates-2024-7efb65cdf4cb - India’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by ambitious goals of decarbonisation of the mobility sector, enhancing energy security, aiming for localisation of manufacturing processes and promoting sustainable transportation. This blog is a working document designed to track all significant union-level policy updates for 2024 in the EV space.

  • Ease of Moving Index - Coimbatore City Profile OMI Foundation, September 2024: https://media.licdn.com/dms/document/media/D4E1FAQFLybgrgfK_rg/feedshare-document-pdf-analyzed/0/1728017545883?e=1729123200&v=beta&t=xq9jJ2rwo72EqlepclvP7DXRW4z3jKCiQK5U0lXgFI4 - This city profile presents the key findings of EoMI 2022,’2 focusing specifically on Coimbatore’s mobility ecosystem. It provides a detailed analysis of the city’s performance across the nine parameters of the Index, shedding light on the strengths and areas requiring attention in Coimbatore’s mobility network.

  • Real-world motor vehicle exhaust emissions in Delhi and Gurugram using remote sensing Anirudh Narla, Yoann Bernard, Tim Dallmann, and Amit Bhatt, August 2024: https://theicct.org/publication/rw-motor-vehicle-exhause-emissions-delhi-gurugram-remote-sensing-aug24/ - The study finds that vehicles certified to the newest emission standard, Bharat Stage (BS) VI, show significant improvements in tailpipe emissions across all pollutants and vehicle types measured. At the same time, real-world emissions from BS VI vehicles in many cases remain higher than type-approval limits. This is particularly the case for high-use commercial vehicles; for example, BS VI taxi and light good vehicle fleets were shown to emit 2.4 and 5.0 times more nitrogen oxides emissions than the counterpart private car fleet. The results also challenge the notion that vehicles fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG) are a “clean” transportation alternative. Across the range of BS VI vehicles measured fueled by CNG, emissions were 1.5–14 times greater than the type-approval limits.

  • A silent revolution: Rapid rise of cycling to school in rural India Srishti Agrawal, Adit Seth, Rahul Goel, July 2024: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0966692324001595?via%3Dihub - This article reviews the performance of bicycle distribution schemes (BDS) in India, with specifc emphasis on gender-related considerations.

  • e-mobility R&D Roadmap for India , Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, July 2024: https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2033653 - The “e-mobility R&D Roadmap for India” has been prepared after detailed horizon scanning of the global automotive sector and identifying future cutting-edge technological requirements. It categorizes research projects into four important areas: Energy Storage Cells, EV Aggregates, Materials and Recycling, Charging and Refueling.

  • Electric Vehicle Demand Incentives In India: The FAME II Scheme And Considerations For A Potential Next Phase , ICCT, July 2024: https://theicct.org/publication/electric-vehicle-demand-incentives-in-india-the-fame-ii-scheme-and-considerations-for-a-potential-next-phase-june24/ - This report examines the impact of FAME II purchase subsidies on the cost dynamics of EVs and explore the opportunity of extending such subsidies to segments that are yet to be covered under the scheme. Based on this analysis, it develops policy recommendations for a possible third phase of the program.

  • Recommendation for Deployment of Smart Charging for Electric Vehicles in India , GIZ, June 2024: https://changing-transport.org/publications/recommendation-for-deployment-of-smart-charging-for-electric-vehicles-in-india/ - The recommendations have been categorized into six key areas: incentives, tariffs, mandates, data management, research, and development (R&D), and standardization. This report presents the findings and recommendations derived from a detailed simulation analysis conducted on Indian distribution systems, complemented by insights from international experiences. It outlines the selection of smart charging strategies, simulation methodologies, and technical-economic analyses, and provides a roadmap for the deployment of smart charging in India.
