The third way of green transition: Adoption of electric vehicles in urban India

Project Active from 15 Sep 2025 to 15 Sep 2026 Energy, Sustainable Growth and Climate change

Electric vehicle adoption in developing countries remains understudied, despite rising motorisation and air pollution. Focusing on Telangana, India, this project uses registration, pollution, and policy data to assess how government subsidies and complementary measures affect EV uptake and environmental outcomes.
