NITI Aayog Launches India Electric Mobility Index 2024 to Track State Progress in EV Transition.
Index
To accelerate the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) across India, the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog launched the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2024 in August 2025. This index is a first-of-its-kind tool developed to benchmark and monitor the performance of States and Union Territories (UTs) in achieving their EV adoption goals under the broader clean mobility agenda.
- The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) was officially released by Rajiv Gauba, Member of NITI Aayog, in the presence of B.V.R. Subrahmanyam (CEO, NITI Aayog), Kamran Rizvi (Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries – MHI), P.O. Agarwal (Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog), and Shubhendu Sinha (Programme Director – E-Mobility, NITI Aayog), highlighting a high-level commitment to drive EV progress across the nation.
- The IEMI 2024 evaluates all Indian States and UTs based on 16 core indicators across 2 thematic areas and scores them on a scale of 1000. The scoring system places the states into three categories: Frontrunners (65–99), Performers (50–64), and Aspirants (0–49) based on their EV ecosystem readiness and policy execution.
- The ‘Frontrunners’ category (score: 65–99) includes Delhi, Maharashtra, and Chandigarh, which have demonstrated advanced readiness in EV infrastructure, ecosystem, and policy implementation.
Main Point :- (i) The ‘Performers’ category (score: 50–64) includes Karnataka, Tamil Nadu (TN), and Haryana, which are making steady progress in electric mobility development with ongoing efforts toward infrastructure and adoption.
(ii) The ‘Aspirants’ category (score: 0–49) consists of Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (UP), Ladakh, and Andhra Pradesh (AP), which are lagging in implementation and need increased investment and strategic intervention to scale their EV initiatives.
(iii) The IEMI is intended as a dynamic benchmarking framework to help policymakers, investors, and stakeholders identify strengths and gaps in state-level EV ecosystems, thereby enabling targeted improvements and policy reforms.
