NITI Aayog has launched the second edition of the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2025, which ranks states on parameters such as charging infrastructure, policy support and market development for electric vehicles.
The index is intended to encourage states to accelerate the transition to electric mobility as part of India's broader climate and clean-energy goals.
NITI Aayog periodically brings out such indices to benchmark state-level performance across sectors.

How the exam will ask it
প্রিলিমস
- The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) is released by NITI Aayog.
- IEMI 2025 is the second edition of the index.
- IEMI ranks states on parameters like charging infrastructure, policy support and market development for EVs.
মেইনস
GS-III Economy/Environment: uneven charging infrastructure and inconsistent state policies have slowed India's EV transition; the IEMI acts as a benchmarking and nudge tool by ranking states on infrastructure, policy and market readiness. This fosters competitive federalism toward clean-energy goals, but the way forward requires targeted central support for lagging states to prevent a widening EV-adoption gap.

Answer before you reveal
The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI), whose second edition NITI Aayog recently released, ranks states primarily on their:
- Total number of registered petrol vehicles
- Crude oil refining capacity
- Coal-based power generation capacity
- Preparedness for electric-vehicle adoption, including charging infrastructure
উত্তর দেখুন
উত্তর: D — Correct: Preparedness for electric-vehicle adoption, including charging infrastructure — this is what the IEMI benchmarks. • Total number of registered petrol vehicles — wrong: not the index's basis. • Crude oil refining capacity — wrong: unrelated to the index. • Coal-based power generation capacity — wrong: unrelated to electric mobility ranking.
