India, with its population of 1.38 billion and projected to reach 1.64 billion by 2050, is a significant global contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, ranking as the third-largest emitter. The transportation sector in India alone is responsible for approximately 18% of all GHG emissions, and it also contributes to the release of criteria air pollutants (CAPs) that pose health risks. In fact, when examining cities with high concentrations of PM2.5, a major air pollutant, India is home to 21 out of the world's 30 most polluted cities. Achieving environmental sustainability in India's transportation system is an urgent and formidable objective, given the scale of the challenge. Vehicle electrification can be a sustainable strategy, but the net effects on GHG and CAP emissions will be determined by the electricity generation mix in the region, carbon capture and air pollution control technologies used. Through this dissertation, we look at the climate change, air pollution and environmental justice consequences of vehicle electrification in the Indian states and union territories and derive policy implications for widespread electrification in both the current and future scenarios.In Chapter 2, we perform a state-specific life-cycle assessment of greenhouse gases (GHG) (CO2eq) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in India for representative passenger vehicles (two wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and buses) and technologies (internal combustion engine, battery electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles). We find that in most states, four-wheeler battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have higher GHG and SO2 emissions than other conventional or alternative vehicles. Electrification of those vehicle classes under present conditions would not lead to emission reductions. Electrified buses and three-wheelers are the best strategies to reduce GHG emissions in many states, but they are also the worst strategy in terms of SO2 emissions. Electrified two-wheelers have lower SO2 emissions than gasoline in one state. The Indian grid would need to decrease its carbon dioxide emissions by 38−52% and SO2 emissions by 58−97% (depending on the state) for widespread vehicle electrification for sustainability purposes to make sense. If the 2030 goals for India under the Glasgow COP are met, we find that four-wheeler BEVs still have higher GHG emissions in 18 states compared to a conventional gasoline compact four-wheeler, and all states will have higher SO2emissions for BEVs across all vehicle types compared to their conventional counterparts.In Chapter 3, we use spatially resolved emissions of PM2.5 and its precursors, and model the change in PM2.5exposure, premature mortality and monetized damages from multiple vehicle electrification and grid scenarios in India. A key finding is that vehicle electrification under present day conditions increases the number of premature deaths from air pollution, owing to the uncontrolled air pollutant emissions from coal power plants. If electric vehicles were to constitute 30% of all vehicle kilometers travelled in India, there would be an increase in 1,000 to 2,000 deaths per year from current levels. A large change in the Indian electricity generation mix is required so as to ensure there are health benefits from a transition to electrified vehicles in India.
