Kerala ranked 19th in NITI Aayog's India Electric Mobility Index
Kerala has been ranked 19th in the first India Electric Mobility Index 2024 (IEMI) published by the NITI Aayog for tracking the progress of electric mobility made by States and Union Territories. With an overall score of 36 out of a possible 100, Kerala has been adjudged 'Aspirant' State in the rankings which assess performance on three core themes: progress of transport electrification, readiness of charging infrastructure, and status of research and innovation in electric vehicles. Kerala has been ranked 21st in transport electrification, 11th in EV research and innovation, and 24th in the readiness of charging infrastructure. No State has scored 100 to claim 'Achiever' status. Delhi (score 77), Maharashtra (68), and Chandigarh (65) have been respectively ranked one, two, and three and listed as the only three 'Front-runners' on the list. They are followed by the 'Performers,' Karnataka (64), Tamil Nadu (59) and Haryana (54). All remaining States and UTs have 'Aspirant' status. The NITI Aayog noted that the IEMI score is the composite of the three themes, evaluated for each state or UT. NITI Aayog member Rajiv Gauba released the report, developed in collaboration with WRI India, on August 4 in New Delhi. The IEMI score is interpreted as the percentage of e-mobility objectives accomplished by a State or UT. The scores will be updated annually, the NITI Aayog said. By way of recommendations, the report has urged Kerala to support the push for e-mobility by prioritising low-emission zone policies, scrapping of old vehicles, retrofitting initiatives, and enhanced purchase subsidies. It also advised the State to improve public charging infrastructure by implementing a single-window system and offering concessional land rates for public charging stations. The report noted that Kerala has 1,872 chargers in 1,163 charging stations. Kerala should establish R&D centres, centres of excellence, and e-mobility courses for skill development, the report said. The report also took note of some of Kerala's significant achievements in e-mobility. The prototype lithium titanate battery developed by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and Travancore Titanium Products (TTPL) is 'a big step forward for the e-mobility programme,' it said. Kerala also had the highest electric car penetration rate at 9.1% in March 2025. Ends
