Transport and emissions experts on Tuesday said that while Electric Vehicle (EV) uptake in Delhi has crossed 12%, the transition alone may not be a viable solution to cut transport-related emissions in the Capital.

Speaking at a session during Connect Karo 2025 organised by WRI India, experts noted that frequent technological shifts and changing norms often deliver short-term, superficial results without addressing long-term challenges.
