ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS3 (Environment, Infrastructure) with a GS2 link to institutions: road freight is a major source of transport emissions, and the NITI Aayog-GIZ agreement under NDC-TIA II supports India's NDC commitments. Policy levers include freight efficiency, cleaner fuels and vehicles, and modal shift. The way forward is to align these with logistics reforms and state-level implementation while tracking measurable emission outcomes.
