**Summary:**
NITI Aayog launched the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) on August 4, 2025, a tool designed to track and benchmark the progress of Indian States and Union Territories (UTs) in achieving their electric mobility goals. The IEMI evaluates States and UTs across 16 indicators within three core themes: Transport Electrification Progress (demand-side adoption), Charging Infrastructure Readiness, and EV Research and Innovation Status (supply-side ecosystem). The index scores entities out of 100, identifying both key drivers of success and areas for targeted interventions. It aims to inform decision-making, foster competition among states, and promote the sharing of best practices. The IEMI underscores the importance of state-level coordination, integrated planning, and cross-sectoral collaboration in achieving India’s electric mobility vision and the nation's net-zero target by 2070. The IEMI dashboard can be accessed at https:iemi.niti.gov.in, and the IEMI Report at https:niti.gov.insitesdefaultfiles202508IndiaElectricMobilityIndex2024Report.pdf. Key figures involved in the launch included Shri Rajiv Gauba, Member, NITI Aayog, Shri B. V. R. Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog, Shri. Kamran Rizvi, Secretary, Mo Heavy Industries, Shri O. P. Agarwal, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog and Shri Sudhendu Sinha, Programme Director EMobility, NITI Aayog.

NITI Aayog today launched the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI), a first-of-its-kind tool developed to
comprehensively track and benchmark the progress of States and Union Territories (UTs) in achieving their
Electric Mobility goals.
The Report was released by Shri Rajiv Gauba, Member, NITI Aayog in presence of Shri B. V. R.
Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog, Shri. Kamran Rizvi, Secretary, M/o Heavy Industries, Shri O. P.
Agarwal, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog and Shri Sudhendu Sinha, Programme Director – E-Mobility,
NITI Aayog among other dignitaries.
States are central to India’s ambition of reducing transport sector emissions and achieving net-zero by 2070.
Proactive state level action is therefore key to designing tailored policies, deploying supportive infrastructure,and ensuring the benefits of e-mobility reach all communities and geographies equitably.
About the India Electric Mobility Index
The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) tracks, evaluates and scores all Indian States and UTs out of 100
across 16 indicators under three-core themes: Transport Electrification Progress to capture demand-side
adoption, Charging Infrastructure Readiness to track allied charging infrastructure development and EV
Research and Innovation Status: Covers supply-side ecosystem R&D efforts.
The IEMI enables evaluation across states and union territories, identifying key drivers of success as well as
areas requiring targeted interventions. The Index aims to inform decision-making, foster healthy competition
among states, and promote sharing of best practices.
The Index underscores the importance of state-level coordination, integrated planning, and cross-sectoral
collaboration in achieving India’s electric mobility vision. By identifying strengths and gaps, the Index aims
to support states in aligning with national goals while addressing local needs.
Launching the IEMI dashboard and Report, Shri Rajiv Gauba, Member, NITI Aayog, said that, “The IEMI
provides a transparent, comparative framework to assess progress across key themes such as electrification,
infrastructure, and innovation. It enables states to benchmark their efforts, identify gaps, and learn from each
other’s successes.”
Shri BVR Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog, added that, “NITI Aayog has already been at the forefront of
enabling the ongoing EV revolution. This index is yet another effort by NITI Aayog to propel India towards
its vision of a decarbonized and energy-secure future.”
