India Introduces Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) to Monitor EV Transition Progress in States and UTs
NITI Aayog has unveiled the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI), a groundbreaking tool designed to monitor and evaluate the progress of States and Union Territories (UTs) in achieving their electric mobility objectives. Launched by Shri Rajiv Gauba, a member of NITI Aayog, the index aims to foster competition among states and promote best practices in the transition to electric vehicles. This initiative is crucial for India’s goal of reducing emissions in the transport sector and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
Understanding the India Electric Mobility Index
The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) is a comprehensive framework that assesses the performance of Indian States and UTs in the realm of electric mobility. It evaluates and scores these regions based on 16 indicators across three core themes: Transport Electrification Progress, Charging Infrastructure Readiness, and EV Research and Innovation Status. This multifaceted approach allows for a detailed understanding of both demand-side adoption and supply-side ecosystem developments related to electric vehicles.
By tracking these indicators, the IEMI provides valuable insights into the current state of electric mobility across the country. It identifies key drivers of success while also highlighting areas that require targeted interventions. The index is designed to inform decision-making at various levels, encouraging states to adopt effective policies and infrastructure that support the growth of electric mobility.
Promoting State-Level Action
The launch of the IEMI underscores the vital role that states play in India’s electric mobility vision. As the country aims to reduce transport sector emissions, proactive state-level actions are essential for developing tailored policies and infrastructure. The index emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts among states to ensure that the benefits of electric mobility are accessible to all communities, regardless of geography.
Shri Rajiv Gauba, during the launch, highlighted the importance of the index in providing a transparent framework for states to benchmark their progress. He noted that the IEMI enables states to identify gaps in their efforts and learn from the successes of others. This collaborative approach is crucial for fostering a competitive environment that drives innovation and efficiency in the electric mobility sector.
Insights from NITI Aayog Leadership
Shri B. V. R. Subrahmanyam, CEO of NITI Aayog, emphasized the organization’s commitment to facilitating the ongoing electric vehicle revolution in India. He stated that the IEMI is another step towards realizing a decarbonized and energy-secure future for the nation. The index not only tracks progress but also serves as a catalyst for states to enhance their electric mobility initiatives.
The IEMI Dashboard and Report are now accessible to the public, providing a wealth of information for stakeholders interested in electric mobility. The dashboard can be found at [IEMI Dashboard](https://iemi.niti.gov.in), while the detailed report is available at [IEMI Report](https://niti.gov.in/sites/default/files/2025-08/India-Electric-Mobility-Index-2024-Report.pdf). These resources are intended to support states in aligning their efforts with national goals while addressing local needs effectively.
