Delhi tops in NITI Aayog’s e-mobility index
Delhi topped India’s states and Union territories in the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2025, scoring 84, according to the index released by NITI Aayog on Wednesday
The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2025, released by NITI Aayog on September 16, evaluates the development of the e-mobility ecosystem and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across Indian states and union territories (UTs). This is the first of its kind index, measuring progress in three key areas: Transport Electrification Progress (50%), Charging Infrastructure Readiness (30%), and EV Research & Innovation Status (20%).
The IEMI score ranges from 10 to 84, with a median score of 40. Delhi topped the index with a score of 84, followed by Maharashtra (78) and Karnataka (73). Only Delhi, Chandigarh, and Maharashtra qualified as top performers in transport electrification progress, which carries the highest weightage of 50% in the index calculation.
The report highlights the importance of addressing barriers such as limited charging infrastructure, dispersed settlements, and a nascent innovation ecosystem to accelerate e-mobility adoption across the country.
