Delhi tops NITI Aayog's electric mobility index 2025, Maharashtra follows
The index assesses states and UTs on key parameters such as transport electrification, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and research and innovation
Delhi topped the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2025 released by the NITI Aayog on Wednesday. Delhi ranked first with 84 points, followed by Maharashtra (78 points), Karnataka (73), Chandigarh (71), and Goa (65 points).
The index assesses states and Union Territories (UTs) on key parameters such as transport electrification, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and research and innovation.
The report, first published last year, noted that the median score across states and UTs rose to 40 in 2025 from 36 in 2024, while the top score increased from 77 to 84 over the same period.
A comparison of 2025 performance with 2024 also showed that the top-performing states and UTs: Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Chandigarh, maintained their leading positions. However, some jurisdictions recorded declines in their positions. The largest decline was recorded by Ladakh, while Punjab, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh also saw decline in their rankings.
Overall, the 2025 edition highlighted a broad-based improvement in e-mobility performance across India, with several states making substantial gains while competition among leading performers has become increasingly close, the report noted.
