Digital Desk: According to an official statement, NITI Aayog
today unveiled two important projects: the E-AMRIT (Accelerated e-Mobility
Revolution for India's Transportation) mobile application to promote electric
mobility and the Report on Advanced Chemistry Cell Battery Reuse and Recycling
Market in India. These projects will be implemented during the visit of COP 26
President Alok Sharma to India on July 21–22, 2022.
India is one of the 42 world
leaders that have endorsed and joined the UK's Glasgow Breakthroughs, which was
unveiled at the COP26 climate meeting. Along with the US and the UK, India is a
co-convener of the Glasgow Breakthrough on Road Transport.
According to the statement, the Breakthrough
on Road Transport intends to make Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) the new norm by
making them affordable, accessible, and sustainable in all regions by 2030.
ZEVs include 2 and 3-wheelers, automobiles, vans, and Heavy-Duty Vehicles.
"India is the world's
fifth-largest and fastest-growing automobile market, offering enormous
potential for the adoption of electric vehicles. The transition to
zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) is well under way and quickening, generating tens
of thousands of new jobs in the e-mobility sector, lowering technology costs,
ensuring cleaner air for us to breathe, and lowering our reliance on foreign
fuels "Speaking at the launch, COP26 President made a point.
CEO of NITI Aayog Parameswaran
Iyer emphasised during the EV initiative introduction that India's EV adoption
will increase exponentially over the next ten years due to the EV ecosystem's
quick development, increased industry involvement, international cooperation,
and supporting government policies.
"India's revolutionary mobility
paradigm is primarily driven by electrification of the transportation
infrastructure. Building India's new green infrastructure will necessitate a
multi-fold increase in public as well as private capital flows "NITI Aayog
Vice Chairman Suman Bery addressed the delegation in his remarks.
The e-AMRIT app gives users
access to vital data, such as engagement tools that let them evaluate the
advantages of electric vehicles, calculate savings, and have all the
information on market and industry changes at their fingertips.
The mobile software is a follow-up to the e-AMRIT and will be made accessible on Google Playstore in the android version today, according to the release.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a bold five-point "Panchamrit" goal at the COP26 meeting in Glasgow in late 2021, including achieving 500 GW of non-fossil electrical generation, generating half of all energy needs from renewable sources, and reducing emissions by 1 billion tonnes by 2030.
India also wants to cut its GDP's emissions intensity by 45%. India pledges to have zero emissions by 2070.
