The NITI Aayog's electric mobility index 2025 has placed Karnataka among India's leading states in the transition towards cleaner transportation infrastructure. The southern state scored 73 points in the comprehensive assessment framework that evaluates electric vehicle adoption, charging infrastructure development, and policy implementation across Indian states.
Delhi maintained its leadership position in the index with a commanding score of 84, demonstrating the capital's continued investments in electric mobility initiatives. Maharashtra followed closely in second place with a score of 78, underlining the competitive landscape among India's major economic hubs in transitioning to sustainable transport solutions.
Karnataka's third-place ranking reflects the state's policy push towards electric vehicle manufacturing and adoption, supported by incentives and infrastructure development initiatives. The score indicates significant progress but also highlights areas where the state can enhance its performance in scaling up charging networks and increasing EV penetration across different vehicle categories.
The NITI Aayog index serves as a benchmarking tool for states to assess their electric mobility readiness and identify strategic gaps. As India accelerates its transition towards sustainable transport to meet climate commitments, state-level performance on such indices has become crucial for policymakers and stakeholders tracking the nation's progress in decarbonising the transport sector.
