A Report initiated by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in India has proposed prohibiting the usage of diesel-fueled four-wheeled vehicles in cities with a population exceeding 10 lakhs by 2027, and instead, promoting electric and gas-based vehicles. The panel, led by former Oil Secretary Tarun Kapoor, also recommended gradually phasing out motorcycles, scooters, and three-wheelers with internal combustion engines by 2035.

The report suggested a ban on adding diesel city buses in urban areas in roughly a decade. The panel proposed that passenger cars and taxis, categorized as four-wheelers, should partly transition to electric and partly to ethanol-blended petrol, with an approximately 50 percent share in each category.
The report highlighted that the pace of change in the use of fossil fuels mainly relies on the adoption of electric vehicles in the automotive industry. If there is a rapid shift towards electric vehicles, which is enforced by policies, it will lead to a faster conversion of refineries to produce renewable energy and biofuels, and result in a decrease in the overall amount of carbon emissions.
