<h1>Union Environment Minister Calls for 50% EV Sales by 2030 to Meet 2070 Net Zero Target, Urges Industry Action.</h1> Union Environment Minister emphasized the need for electric vehicles (EVs) to constitute 50% of vehicle sales by 2030 to align with the 2070 net zero emission target. Speaking at an international conference, he highlighted that while India's rising car sales boost the economy, they also pose environmental challenges. Current projections estimate EV sales will reach 35% by 2030, necessitating further growth. The minister noted that EVs could significantly reduce CO2 emissions and create millions of jobs. He urged the auto industry to engage in the Green Credit programme and adopt circular manufacturing practices, potentially adding substantial economic value by 2050.
