Aim and objectives
• Decrease India's
emissions by 2030 (NDC
baseline target 45%)
• Decrease Delhi's air
pollution
• More cyclist, less cars

STAKEHOLDERS
Government
-Support to set up biking
station near metro for better
public to private transition
-Make incentive of bike
service via metro cards
Startups
-Make its best in e-
bike design products with
high degree of safety
-Collaborate with private
sectors to decide the
rewards or product
discounts
Private Sector
-Investment to create heavy
network of biking stations
-Create rewards/discounts
for its products to
people who join the e-bike
community
NGO
Help the government
to persuade and give
socializations for civil
society
Citizen
Use
electronic
bicycle in
daily life
Researchers
Do more
research and
development of
the battery
quality for the
bicycle
E-Cycle
Community/Actress
/Influencers
Persuade and
influence people to
use electronic
bicycle

Timeline
2023
Talks with the government to gain policy
attention to e-cycle along with the FAME
INITIATIVE, also simultaneously introduce
the ideas to the other stakeholders such as
Startups, Researchers, and NGO
2024
Do the policy consultation with all the
stakeholders involved. Government shall
make the rules about the e-cycle and the
private sector must support the rules.
2025
Government must finalize the e-cycle rules
and Startups shall release the e-cycle
products
2026
NGO must support the government rules
to give socialization about using the e-
cycle. While private sectors shall help with
investment and make collaboration on
rewards/discounts
2027-2030
Trial on segregating all the stakeholders
involved to use the e-cycle system.
Influencers and the e-cycle
community shall persuade and implement
this in daily life

Implementation Strategies
With Output & Outcomes

PASTA • Regular physical activity (at least 150–300 minutes of
moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week) is
proven to help prevent and treat NCDs such as heart disease,
stroke, diabetes and breast and colon cancer. It also helps to
prevent hypertension, overweight and obesity and can
improve mental health, quality of life and well-being.
• The PASTA “Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport
Approaches” project collected
• data in a longitudinal web-based survey with a cohort design
to study the effects of active mobility on overall physical
activity and health.
Mission -To ensure that all people
have access to safe and enabling
environments and to diverse
opportunities to be physically active in
their daily lives, as a means of
improving individual and community
health and contributing to the social,
cultural and economic development of
all nations.

saving on
travel

strategy output outcome
Incentivize
people to not
use automobile
Set higher taxes
for fossil fuel
vehicles and
companies
Decreased air
pollution due
to automobiles
by adoption of
green mobility

Expected challenges, risks, and mitigation measures

1. Distance of cycling commute
• Distance can make people consider walking towards the cycling
commute
• The weather makes people not interested to walk

2. Engagement of city government
• Governance might have another task to take care of, thus making this
issue not its priority, and will take a longer time to be finalized

3. Bike design
• Upright bike ( comfortable to ride ) but not efficient way to bike

Bikes

Monitoring plans with
indicators
• Doing annual year's meeting and evaluation with all stakeholders involved
• Create a survey to evaluate the trial of e-cycling in 3 years early period
