Is it crop burning, vehicular, industrial pollution, or fugitive dust? MEF's report explores the intersection of various factors influencing India’s pollution. Supporting Rickshaw Drivers towards EV Transition: According to MEF's deep dive into air pollution, 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler vehicles are a major source of air pollution. Hence, MEF is running projects to support the transition to EVs from lead-acid battery/ICE vehicles by partnering with multiple stakeholders.
