In a year where the phrase ‘new normal’ became part of our daily vocabulary in ways never before imagined, India set parameters for the new normal in India’s transport sector
The government has set ambitious targets to achieve its goals of zero emissions, one of which includes phasing out of petrol-run vehicles and replacing them with electric ones by 30% by the onset of next decade.
