- The forum will be implemented by NITI Aayog as it is its implementing partner for India.
- The forum aims to reduce the peak level of GHG emissions in the transport sector on the Asian continent. It aims to reduce it in line with a well below the 2-degree pathway. The GHG emissions in the transport sector lead to the problems like congestion and air pollution.
- The forum was launched under NDC-Transport Initiative for Asia (NDC-TIA) project, which is the joint initiative of 7 organisations that will work to promote a comprehensive approach to decarbonizing transport in the countries like China, India, and Vietnam.
- Under the forum, both the entities along with project partners will work with stakeholders to frame strategies and business models to boost electric mobility in India.
- The forum will also be a platform to have a dialogue of discussion to frame uniform policies to reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector.
- Thus the forum will be a platform for achieving greening the transport sector in India.
