Based on the literature review of international and national cases, key intervention measures for introducing low emission zones will be identified.

Further, the enabling mechanisms along with the process of rolling out such measures and their impacts would also be assessed. Along with this, an understanding of the Indian planning and policy regime would help outlining a broad framework for planning of LEZs.
