H
ERE Technologies , the leading location data and technology platform , in collaboration with SBD Automotive , a global automotive research firm , has unveiled an Electric Vehicle ( EV ) Index for India . The Index ranks a list of selected Indian states and union territories based on key metrics that influence the adoption and usability of EVs .
The top overall Indian states and union territories in the HERE – SBD EV Index
( 1 ) Chandigarh ; ( 2 ) Goa ; ( 3 ) Delhi ; ( 4 ) Maharashtra ; ( 5 ) Karnataka
The bottom overall Indian states and union territories in the HERE – SBD EV Index
( 25 ) Arunachal Pradesh ; ( 26 ) Assam ; ( 27 ) Bihar ; ( 28 ) Jharkhand ; ( 29 ) Sikkim
The Index , which measures data from 2023 and 2024 of all EVs including two- and three-wheelers , offers a detailed assessment of the current state of EV infrastructure and adoption across India . The Index is based on the following metrics ( each ranked out of a maximum score of 25 for a total score out of 100 ):

1 . How far you must drive to find a charger – number of public EV chargers per road length .
2 . How quickly you can charge – the average power capacity of public EV chargers .
3 . Number of battery electric vehicles ( BEVs ) on the road versus internal combustion engine vehicles – BEV fleet share . 4 . Likelihood of finding an unoccupied charger – the ratio of registered EVs to public chargers .
Chandigarh leads the nation with an impressive score of 81.9 . Chandigarh ’ s success can be attributed to its comprehensive Zero Emission Vehicle ( ZEV ) Deployment plan , which provides significant incentives for the purchase of EVs and the installation of charging infrastructure . This strategic approach has resulted in Chandigarh not only securing the top spot overall but also achieving the highest number of chargers per BEV , with 148 chargers serving a relatively small population of 179 BEVs .
Bentley Systems acquires 3D geospatial company Cesium
B entley Systems , the infrastructure engineering software company , has announced it has acquired 3D geospatial company Cesium . Cesium is recognised as the foundational open platform for creating powerful 3D geospatial applications , and its 3D Tiles open standard has been widely adopted by leading enterprises , governments and tens of thousands of application developers globally . Cesium ion , the company ’ s SaaS platform , brings 3D geospatial experiences to more than 1 million active devices every month , while Cesium ’ s open-source offerings have more than 10 million downloads .
Bentley ’ s iTwin Platform powers digital twin solutions that are used by engineering and construction firms and owner-operators to design , build , and operate the world ’ s infrastructure . The combination of Cesium plus iTwin enables developers to seamlessly align 3D geospatial data with engineering , subsurface , IoT , reality , and enterprise data to create digital twins with astonishing user experiences that scale from vast infrastructure networks to the millimeter-accurate details of individual assets – viewed from land , sky and sea , from outer space to deep below the Earth ’ s surface .
Bentley CEO , Nicholas Cumins , said : “ A 3D geospatial view is the most intuitive way for owner-operators and engineering services providers to search for , query , and visualise information about infrastructure networks and assets . With the combined capabilities of Cesium and iTwin , infrastructure professionals can make better informed decisions in full 3D geospatial context – all within a single , highly performant environment .”
