Overview

  • New Delhi is leading the way in the adoption of electric mobility in India, with major strides being made in transitioning public and commercial vehicles to zero emission modes of transportation.
  • However, residents in India are finding it difficult to switch to electric vehicles for personal use.
  • Fishermen on Malaysia's west coast are struggling with a declining catch, with one fisherman having not been out to sea in 4 months and another having to sell his boats for a smaller one.
  • Pakistan's airstrikes on militant groups in Iran have been deemed a bilateral issue between Tehran and Islamabad by India, which has refused to comment on the situation.
  • Despite its refusal to comment, New Delhi has a lot at stake should the conflict between Pakistan and Iran escalate.
