India should ban the use of diesel-powered four-wheeler vehicles by 2027 in cities with more than a million people and polluted towns and switch to electric and gas-fueled vehicles to reduce emissions, the Energy Transition Advisory Committee is recommending.
The oil ministry panel is also considering a ban on internal combustion-powered motorcycles, scooters, and three-wheelers (also known as tuk-tuks) by 2035. This is part of the country's green transition, according to Bloomberg.
India, one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, aims to produce 40% of its electricity from renewable sources to achieve net zero by 2070.
