How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- 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.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
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.
