01 Oct 2025
- Pollution Control via Fiscal Measures: India uses Green Tax and emission-based tolling to discourage older, polluting vehicles and promote cleaner alternatives.
- Policy Innovation for Sustainable Transport: Tools like congestion pricing, low-emission zones, and differentiated charges are being piloted to align road usage with environmental impact.
- Support from National Missions: Programs like FAME and the Smart Cities Mission provide institutional support, integrating emission-based charging into broader climate and mobility goals.
