Top priority for public transport

Electric power is the way to go for the transport sector, given the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. India, too, is taking measures to lay the foundation of such a transition. The government is finalising a policy that would help transition the sector away from the internal combustion engine and fossil fuels to electric vehicles and alternative fuels. In devising a policy for clean mobility, the government must prioritise mass transit over cars and private vehicles.
