Low Emission Zone: Opportunities and Impacts - The case of Delhi

November 11, 2024

As cities struggle to upscale sustainable mobility options and accelerate adoption of clean and zero-emission vehicles, a new opportunity is emerging in the framework of the low-emissions-zone (LEZ) approach. Delineation of targeted areas in cities as LEZs allows combined and aligned implementation of enhanced and integrated public transport services along with walking and cycling infrastructure while adopting fiscal incentives and regulatory measures to promote use of only clean and zero-emission vehicles in that zone. This can enable community-wide adoption while catalysing city-wide cascading effect for fast-pace transition.
 
This report provides, through a mix of perception surveys and policy scenario analysis, a nuanced understanding of how LEZs can be strategically implemented in an equitable way for clean and low-carbon pathways in Delhi.
