He West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) invited The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, to submit a proposal to analyze the spatiotemporal variations in atmospheric BC in Kolkata and Howrah cities. Accordingly, TERI submitted a technical and financial proposalto WBPCB to prepare an annual spatiotemporal variation of atmospheric BC concentration over Kolkata and Howrah in March 2023. Following the review of the proposal by experts, WBPCB awarded the project to TERI on 10th May 2023 (Memo No. 1139/1K-1/2021). Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed (e-stamp Certificate No. lN-Dt_93620208110842U) between the WBPCB and TERI in May 2023.

| Faiz Jamal
This position paper seeks to build foundational awareness and understanding of electric vehicles (EVs), with an emphasis on accelerating their adoption in India. The analysis focuses on the private vehicle segment, as highlighted in a study by TERI, that projects a substantial rise in personal vehicle ownership, making it a critical area for electrification.
EV Charging in India: Ecosystem Perspectives and Skilling Opportunities
03 Sep 2025
Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) today unveiled a landmark whitepaper on skilling for EV charging infrastructure at Mercedes-Benz Sustainability Dialogue India 2025. The whitepaper highlights the critical role of charge point operators (CPOs)–the backbone of EV charging infrastructure–in driving India’s transition to electric mobility. It identifies limited hands-on training opportunities, the absence of standardized training modules for CPOs, and a shortage of qualified trainers with expertise in both technical and operational aspects of EV charging infrastructure as the top barriers to building this workforce.
