    1. Abstract : Urban transport systems are changing at a fast pace, with electric vehicles (EVs) being one of the primary solutions for sustainable mobility. The present study assesses the potential of EVs in revolutionizing Indore’s urban transport based on secondary data on infrastructure, pollution levels, and policy initiatives. This research highlights the environmental benefits of the adoption of electric vehicles as limited emissions and good air quality, together with challenges such as underdeveloped charging infrastructure and awareness. Recommended policy points for discussion include the build-up of EV infrastructure, persuading through incentives for wider availability, and making EVs more prominent in public transport. The strategic planning of a city will therefore be very important in Indore to ensure a cleaner and more efficient transport future.
