SRMIST prioritizes sustainable transportation by offering e-vehicle services, reducing emissions, and promoting eco-friendly mobility.

• Our institution utilizes vehicles within the campus for multiple purposes, including guest transportation, office visits, hospital transfers, and student mobility.
• As part of our steps towards sustainability, we have successfully replaced almost half of the vehicles on campus with electric vehicles (EVs).
• We are currently in the process of transitioning all types of institution vehicles to EVs to reduce CO₂
• This initiation to eco-friendly transportation reducing carbon emissions and promotes a sustainable campus environment.
• Also, our institution actively encourages students and faculty members to switch to EVs, contributing to the overall reduction in carbon footprint.
