Decarbonizing Kolkata's Public Transport

TERI conducted a study titled “Accelerating Net Zero Transition of Public Transportation in Kolkata” to support West Bengal’s Transport and Power Departments. The study identifies optimal locations for EV charging stations, assesses energy and infrastructure needs for electric two, three, and four wheelers, and explores solar energy potential. It also presents a decarbonization roadmap for Kolkata’s public transport system through 2050, highlighting strategies to reduce emissions, integrate renewables, and identify funding opportunities for fleet electrification.
