India’s Delhi state plans to spend $600 million over three years to electrify most of its public transport to improve air quality in one of the world’s most-polluted cities.
 

The state, which regularly tops global air pollution charts, is working on a strategy to make 80% of its buses electric by 2025, set up more charging stations and switch one-fourth of its power supply to solar to tackle the problem, said Jasmine Shah, vice chairman of the Delhi government’s Dialogue and Development Commission.
