Overview
The goal of World Resources Institute’s Sustainable Urban Mobility program in India is to make cities more accessible, equitable, and livable. India’s urban population will be about 600 million by 2030, and transportation is the fastest growing sector contributing to carbon emissions. World Resources Institute is working to scale up private-sector innovation and remove barriers to safe, reliable, affordable, and low-carbon transportation options for millions of urban citizens. While focusing on transport, the program also addresses problems of air pollution, safety for women, road fatalities, unequal access to economic opportunities, traffic congestion, and urban sprawl.

Grants to this Grantee
for electric mobility initiative in India
World Resources Institute (WRI) is actively engaged in various geographies to produce relevant e-mobility research and provide deep technical assistance that supports stakeholders in delivering results. WRI’s electric mobility initiative in India has been working extensively with the Indian government and various state governments on developing the EV ecosystem and contributing to India’s strengthened commitment to the e-mobility transition. This grant will allow WRI to continue to support this transition and work closely at the subnational level with state governments to support the planning and implementation of EV initiatives, provide necessary technical assistance and enable capacity development within government departments, and facilitate collaborations between public and private sector stakeholders.
