| Abstract | India is witnessing a rapid surge in urban mobility demand as a result of its increasing population, rapid urbanization, rising income levels and the growth and spread of cities. The growth in urban travel demand is majorly driven by cities as LDV sales continue to increase at 26% and the share of two- and four-wheelers in the vehicle mix is increasing in cities. Such a pattern would have vital implications for local air quality, GHG emissions and energy security in future. It is thus important to move towards a sustainable urban transport pathway, especially in cities, which account for major proportion of the urban transport demand. By implementing various national as well as local GHG mitigation strategies, important co-benefits such as air quality improvement, energy security and GHG mitigation can be gained. City level actions would play a major role and the present study looks at the long term energy and environmental pathways for Ahmedabad city, India. Two scenarios: i) Business-as-usual and ii) a Green Energy and Sustainable Transport, are assessed using the AIM Extended Snapshot for the urban transport sector in Ahmedabad till 2050. The results reveal that there would be important local co-benefits (improvement in air quality) and national level co-benefits (energy security, GHG mitigation) gained if green and sustainable urban transport solutions get implemented across cities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
