  "account": "On Monday September 16, the NITI Aayog released the India Electric Mobility Index 2025, which assesses the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem and EV adoption across Indian states and union territories. The index, a composite ranking, evaluates policy implementation and outcomes for road transport electrification. Collaborating with WRI India, the index tracks 16 performance indicators under three weightage categories: Transport Electrification Progress (50%), Charging Infrastructure Readiness (30%), and EV Research & Innovation Status (20%). Delhi topped the index with a score of 84, followed by Maharashtra (78) and Karnataka (73). The top three performers were also the only states to achieve a composite score above 70. The index highlights three key barriers to faster e-mobility adoption: limited charging infrastructure, dispersed settlements, and a nascent innovation ecosystem.",
