The annual number of road traffic deaths dropped by 5 per cent to 1.19 million per year, according to this latest Global Status Report on Road Safety by the World Health Organization, even as the numbers continue to rise in India.

Rapid deployment of low-emission fuels during this decade will be crucial to accelerate the decarbonisation of the transport sector. Significant electrification opportunities are available for the road transport sector, while the aviation and marine sectors continue to be more reliant on fuel-based solutions for their decarbonisation.

This study shows that a combination of additional strategies in the “All Out” scenario could further reduce emissions in line with a well-below 2°C pathway with the same parameters.

The Annual Report on ‘Road Accidents in India-2022” has been published by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023 is an annual collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Climate Change High-Level Champions, focused on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions.

This report assesses the impact of the road transport sector on energy demand, CO2 emissions and air pollution in several selected major emerging economies over the coming decades under several IEA modelling scenarios.

India aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2070 – a demanding task given the country’s ambitious sustainable development objectives.

Clean and affordable public transportation can lower carbon emissions, improve urban air quality, and enable economic development. India’s G20 presidency can leverage the country’s National Electric Bus Programme to serve as a model that can be replicated across emerging market and developing economies.

This report reviews the physical and financial performance of 56 reporting State Road Transport Undertakings (SRTUs) in India during the financial year 2017-18 and 2018-19 in comparison with that of 2016-17. 56 out of 62 SRTUs have been analysed in this document.

As India moves steadfastly towards incorporating a higher share of Renewable Energy (RE) in its power mix, electrification of the transport sector is viewed as a low-hanging fruit towards achieving sectoral decarbonisation.
