India is one of the most polluted countries in the world. According to SAFAR, the federal monitoring agency, the Air Quality Index of New Delhi is critical. As per the Air Quality Life Index by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, an average Indian loses approximately 5.2 years due to particulate pollution. A shift to cleaner and sustainable sources of energy is not just essential but also imminent. Statistics show that vehicles that run on fossil fuel contribute to 60 per cent of PMs (particulate matter-related atmospheric pollution), and over 20 per cent of carbon dioxide. The rising crude oil prices certainly don't help with the situation. But to tackle a situation like this, one must understand the on-ground realities to create a solution.
