The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2024 provides a comprehensive assessment of the electric mobility landscape across 28 states and 8 Union Territories (UTs) in India, evaluating their performance in advancing the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
The IEMI Score is a composite metric, calculated as a weighted average of three key themes: Transport Electrification Progress (50%), Charging Infrastructure Readiness (30%), and EV Research and Innovation Status (20%). Each theme is scored out of 100, reflecting the state’s or UT’s progress in specific areas of e-mobility development.
Delhi leads the 2024 IEMI rankings with a score of 82.4, driven by its robust performance across all three themes, particularly in Transport Electrification Progress (92.1) due to high commercial EV adoption (61.9%) and strong governance initiatives. Karnataka follows closely with a score of 78.9, excelling in Charging Infrastructure Readiness (85.6) and EV Research and Innovation Status (79.2), bolstered by its leadership in charging infrastructure deployment and EV startup ecosystem. Maharashtra ranks third with a score of 76.5, showcasing strong performance in private EV adoption (8.5%) and R&D initiatives. Other notable performers include Tamil Nadu (73.2) and Goa (70.8), which have demonstrated significant progress in policy implementation and infrastructure development.
States like Uttar Pradesh (68.7) and Haryana (67.4) show promising advancements, particularly in commercial EV adoption and charging infrastructure readiness, respectively. However, states such as Nagaland (32.1), Arunachal Pradesh (34.5), and Sikkim (36.2) rank lower, primarily due to limited policy frameworks, low EV adoption rates, and nascent charging infrastructure.
The IEMI Scores reveal a diverse landscape, with urbanized states and UTs generally outperforming others due to stronger policy support, higher EV penetration, and better infrastructure.
Transport Electrification Progress
The Transport Electrification Progress theme, weighted at 50% of the IEMI Score, evaluates the adoption of EVs and the effectiveness of state-led policies and incentives in promoting electrification. This theme includes two outcome indicators—Private EV Adoption and Commercial EV Adoption—and five enabler indicators: Governance Initiatives, Purchase Incentives, Transition Incentives, Operational Support Initiatives, and Fuel Price Parity.
Delhi tops this theme with a score of 92.1, driven by its exceptional commercial EV adoption rate (61.9%) and comprehensive governance initiatives, including an active EV policy, an interdepartmental committee, and a dedicated EV awareness portal. Uttar Pradesh follows with a score of 87.3, reflecting its high commercial EV adoption (63.7%) and strong policy framework. Goa (84.5) ranks third, boosted by its leading private EV adoption rate (15.4%), supported by targeted purchase incentives and operational support initiatives. States like Karnataka (79.8) and Tamil Nadu (76.4) also perform strongly, leveraging robust policy measures and incentives to drive EV uptake.
Conversely, states such as Nagaland (28.7), Sikkim (30.2), and Arunachal Pradesh (32.9) score lower due to limited EV adoption and minimal policy interventions. The theme scores highlight the critical role of state-level policies in driving EV adoption, with top performers demonstrating a combination of high adoption rates and proactive governance. The variation in scores underscores the need for tailored interventions to address regional disparities and accelerate electrification across all states and UTs.
