Gurugram, located in Haryana, India, has reported a significant increase in vehicle registrations, totaling 229,964 between March 2025 and April 2026, marking the highest level in seven years. This figure represents a rise from approximately 201,000 registrations during the same period last year, according to data from the regional transport authority (RTA) and the environmental think-tank Envirocatalysts. Despite this growth, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) remains low, accounting for just 5.4% of total registrations. Petrol and ethanol vehicles dominate the market with 131,254 registrations, while diesel vehicles and petrol-CNG vehicles follow closely. Although registrations of cleaner alternatives like CNG and EVs have increased, they still represent a small fraction of the overall vehicle count. To encourage sustainable mobility, Gurugram plans to establish 15 EV charging stations and 10 battery-swapping stations in high-traffic areas. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority's comprehensive mobility management plan aims to introduce 1,500 e-buses by 2026, but currently, only 150 public buses operate in the city. Sunil Dahiya, founder of Envirocatalysts, emphasized the environmental impact of diesel vehicles, which contribute significantly to PM2.5 pollution levels, highlighting the need for stricter emission monitoring.
