India, the world’s sixth-largest truck market, is key to the global transition to zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE-MHDVs). This report outlines a strategic roadmap for electrifying priority truck segments using real-world duty-cycle analysis. It identifies beachhead applications—like 11T produce and LPG trucks, 29T milk and coal haulers, and 40T–55T water and mineral carriers—representing 18.2% of total truck emissions and feasible with current BEV technology. The report outlines policy gaps, market fragmentation, and the need for demand-side incentives, financing solutions, and state-level leadership to accelerate ZET deployment in India.
