NITI Aayog Launches India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI)

Context:

NITI Aayog has launched the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) to benchmark and track the electric mobility progress of States and Union Territories across India.

India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI)

Implementing Agency:

The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) is developed and released by NITI Aayog, with support from sectoral experts and stakeholders.

Objective and Scope:

The Index provides a comprehensive, transparent, and comparative framework for evaluating the performance of States and UTs in achieving electric mobility targets.

Key Themes & Indicators:

Evaluates performance across three core themes:
- Transport Electrification Progress – demand-side EV adoption.
- Charging Infrastructure Readiness – development of public and private EV charging networks.
- EV Research and Innovation Status – supply-side ecosystem including R&D efforts and innovation.
The index assesses States and UTs using 16 indicators with a total score of 100.

Policy Utility:

Enables benchmarking, promotes healthy competition, and encourages cross-learning among States.
Assists policymakers in identifying strengths, weaknesses, and intervention priorities.

Significance:

Aligns with India’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
Supports the broader vision of decarbonized, energy-secure, and inclusive mobility.
