An oil ministry panel has recommended the Indian government to ban the use of diesel-powered four-wheeler vehicles by 2027 and switch to electric and gas-fuelled vehicles in cities with more than a million people and polluted towns in order to cut emissions.
By 2030, no city buses should be added which are not electric…diesel buses for city transport should not be added from 2024 onwards.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has set up an Energy Transition Advisory Committee, headed by former oil secretary Tarun Kapoor.
India is among the top emitters of greenhouse gases. Diesel accounts for about two-fifths of refined fuel consumption in India with 80% of that being used in the transport sector.
The country aims at producing 40% of its electricity from renewables to achieve its 2070 net zero goal.
