Supporting Indian States with Building Capacity to Access Finance for E-mobility Projects

Description

Supporting Indian States with Building Capacity to Access Finance for E-mobility Programmes is a capacity building programme to help the governments of the States of Telangana and Uttar Pradesh, and the Government of India, to build capacity to access finance for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) road transport deployment. This programme responds to the urgent need for scalable, inclusive financing solutions to accelerate India’s ZEV transition and unlock economic and environmental benefits on clean road transport. The contract is expected to run for 24 weeks from December/January 2025 to May/June 2026, with key milestones including programme initiation (Weeks 1–8), co-design of technical support delivery plans (Weeks 4–11), technical support delivery (Weeks 12–21), and programme closure (Weeks 22–24). The total budget available for this opportunity is £416,000. The successful supplier will be expected to manage the programme, lead stakeholder engagement with organisations enabling ZEV financing in India, deliver inclusive technical and financial capacity building activities, and produce high-quality outputs aligned with just transition principles. Bids from consortia and subcontracting models are welcome. Proposed approaches should reflect strong understanding of green technology deployment in the local context and alignment with UK government requirements, including Gender, Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion. ________________________________________ Programme Objectives This programme aims to: • Build institutional capacity in participating States and the Government of India to access and deploy finance for ZEV technologies and associated assets. • Promote inclusive, bankable projects aligned with just transition principles. • Enhance coordination with international finance institutions and technical partners. • Generate insights to inform future ZEV financing programmes in India and other emerging markets
