Moving towards solar-powered e-roads in India

Published 05 July 2022

India has been moving towards advanced technologies in transport, and some key modern technologies have entered its highway network system. The government is actively planning to introduce E-roads such as E-highways and E-expressways for charging a large chunk of electric vehicles (EVs). NITI Aayog says that EVs will account for 80 per cent of two- and three-wheelers, 40 per cent of buses, and 30–70 per cent of cars by 2030 in India.

As a pilot run, India’s first E-highway between Delhi and Jaipur will be developed soon. India should simultaneously devise a strategy to integrate innovative solar technologies with E-roads to bring in true clean mobility.
