Executive Summary

• Since the liberalization of the sector in 1991 and allowing of 100 percent FDI through
automatic route, there has been an average annual growth of 34.8% during 2001-02 to 2012-13
in total production of Passenger Vehicles (PVs) in India.
• The Indian auto industry is one of the largest in the world. The industry accounts for 7.1 per
cent of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Today, almost every global auto major
has set up facilities in the country.
• The two wheelers are the major contributors of vehicular air pollution followed by four-
wheeler (e.g., car, jeep, taxi etc.), trucks and buses in decreasing order of magnitude.
• A study conducted on non-smokers in 2013 showed that Indians have 30% lower lung
function compared to Europeans. The major reason behind such a problem is the pollution
caused by the large population of traditional fossil fuel-based vehicles used in the country.
• According to World Health Organization (WHO), Delhi tops the list of most polluted cities.
Among the world’s 20 most polluted cities in the world, 13 are in India.
• Exposure to air pollution can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, which is
estimated to be the cause for 620,000 early deaths in 2010, and the health cost of air pollution
in India has been assessed at 3 per cent of its GDP.
• Without improved grid performance, a greater share of renewable energy in power
generation, and charging infrastructure, EVs could potentially provoke greater carbon
dioxide emissions. The key reason is that 57% of electricity sourced from the grid India is
coal based, so electric vehicles are substituting gasoline for coal to some extent.
Additionally, electricity losses during transmission and distribution are 24% (2012) compared
to grid infrastructure in other countries.
