Moving from principles to action for energy supply that mitigates against climate change requires a long-term perspective. Energy infrastructure takes time to build up; new energy technologies take time to develop. Policy shifts often also need many years to take effect. In most world regions the transformation from fossil to renewable energies will require additional investment and higher supply costs over about twenty years

India’s car market is projected to grow by a factor of 16 from 2000 to 2050.The market is characterised by small cars (70%), a proportion which is maintained up to 2050. Although India will remain a low price car market for some time, the key to efficiency is through electrified power trains, hybrid, plug-in and battery electric vehicles. Stringent energy efficiency measures will also limit the growth of transport energy demand by 2050 to about a factor of 5 compared to 2007.

By 2030, electricity will provide 14% of the transport sector’s total energy demand under the Energy [R]evolution scenario, while in the advanced version the share will already reach 18% in 2030 and 49% by 2050.
