science-policy-practice interaction of the MoEFCC, GIZ is conducting joint studies together with PIK in
various areas which are key in realizing India’s NDCs and improving resilience. One of which is Green
Transport: Energy-Environment-Economy Implications of Transport Modal Shift in achieving NDC
targets in India to capture the energy-environment-economy implications of the modal shift towards
rail under alternate scenarios.
