Maharashtra among states with most comprehensive EV policies, finds report

Maharashtra is among the top 5 states with most comprehensive policy designs, according to a study by ‘Climate Trends’, a research-based consulting and capacity building initiative that aims to bring greater focus on issues of environment, climate change and sustainable development.

Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Punjab offer the widest range of parameters, between 13 to 15 of the 21 parameters, making them the most holistic policies.

The early success of e-mobility in India can largely be attributed to a supportive policy landscape at the national and state level. Of the 36 states and Union Territories in the country, 26 have released EV policies over the last 5 years, with 16 of them being released between 2020 and 2022.
