The International Transport Forum (ITF), in collaboration with the World Bank, have undertaken a study to help Indian stakeholders identify cost-efficient and sustainable pathways to mitigate the CO2 emissions from passenger transport in cities by providing them with a modelling tool to analyse the impact of different policy and investment proposals. The modelling tool for Indian cities is built on the ITF Global Urban Transport Model. The Energy Resources Institute (TERI) has supported the efforts through local data input and technical assistance with scenario building and analysis.
The Indian Urban Mobility Database (IUMD), as one of the key outcomes of the modelling tool, provides valuable insights into the base year and future mobility patterns/trends for 108 urban agglomerations in India under the Baseline Scenario. The IUMD provides useful data and evidence to support sustainable urban transport policies for decision makers, researchers and transport professionals in India.

As outputs of the modelling tool, the IUMD also provides the travel demand, mode shares, vehicle activities and CO2 emissions (including both Well-to-Tank and Tank-to-Wheel emissions) from 2010 to 2050 in five-year increments for each urban agglomeration under the Baseline Scenario.

Data refer to the urban agglomeration, unless otherwise indicated.
108 cities in India were selected if the population size was equal to or larger than half a million residents as per the 2011 census.
