The roadmap for low carbon and sustainable mobility in India kicked off in November 2018 under the aegis of PPMC, with the support of WWF in collaboration with FICCI and funded by the Michelin Foundation. The project formed in early 2019 a working group for each of the eight roadmap components. A couple of working group meetings have been already held, such as two meetings on Component 2 (low-carbon energy supply) in February 2019, a meeting on Component 5 (avoid vehicle kilometers) in March 2019 and Component 8 (economic instruments and finance) in February 2019. The meetings were coordinated by FICCI and inputs are being collated. In addition, WWF-India coordinated working group meetings on Component 1 (urban transformation), in February and march 2019 and Component 6 (solutions for rural populations) in February 2019.

The detailed list of working group meetings is as follows:

The following meetings of the Working Groups were coordinated by FICCI:
