Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a transformative solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, notably carbon dioxide (CO₂), in India. The transportation sector is a major contributor to India's CO₂ emissions, primarily due to the high reliance on fossil fuels. The transition to EVs, powered by renewable energy sources, offers a promising route to mitigate environmental impacts. This paper explores the potential impact of EV adoption on CO₂ emissions reduction in India by examining current emission levels, policies, and the anticipated effects of large-scale EV integration. India’s government has introduced various initiatives, such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, to accelerate EV deployment. Through policy incentives, tax benefits, and charging infrastructure development, India aims to achieve a substantial reduction in transportation-related emissions by 2030. This paper assesses both the direct and indirect impact of EVs on emission reductions in India, comparing them with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The findings underscore the significance of aligning EV growth with clean energy expansion.
