NITI Aayog has recently hosted the inaugural edition of Shoonya Forum in Delhi to commemorate the first anniversary of Shoonya Campaign.

• At the Shoonya Forum, 25 Shoonya partners have announced their commitment to accelerate India’s transition to Electronic Vehicles and improve air quality for citizens in the country.
• They have shared their success stories and commitment towards fleet electrification.
• The forum provided opportunities for partners to share their know-hows and experiences and promoted potential collaborations.
• The National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Energy Storage (Part III) report was also launched during the event. The report highlights that India’s $2.5-billion Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) energy storage is critical for meeting the projected cumulative battery demand of 106–260 GWh by 2030 to successfully realize the country’s vision for EV adoption and grid decarbonisation.
