Can India Achieve Zero - Tailpipe Emission Mobility?

Delhi’s transport transition shows that cleaner fuels and stricter emission standards, while essential, are no longer enough to deliver clean air. Even as individual vehicles become cleaner, the addition of nearly three million new vehicles every year continues to offset these gains. 

Is it time for India to adopt nationwide zero-tailpipe emission targets? Yes. Aligning national policies with a strict, tailpipe-focused zero-emission framework can secure both long-term energy independence and clean air.

Join us for a discussion on why a strict zero-tailpipe emission framework is critical for cleaner air, what Delhi’s transport transition teaches the rest of the country, and how national policy can accelerate the shift towards a zero-emission future.
