India may tell taxi companies to convert 40% of their vehicle fleet to electric by April 2026, which would require YoY and Ola to start conversion of their fleet in 2020. The move is part of India’s attempts to meet pollution limits set out in the Paris Agreement on climate change. Sales of EVs in India grew to 3,600 in the year to March 2019, a threefold increase Uber, but were still just 0.1% of diesel and petrol cars. Motorcycles and scooters would reportedly need to be all-electric by 2023. Indian buses, meanwhile, would need to be 30% electric by 2026.
