The common objective by both the Indian and German governments has been underlined by a Joint Declaration of Intent on Green Urban Mobility (GUMP), which was signed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Indian Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in 2019. The partnership facilitates a strategic dialogue between Indian and German partners, fosters the exchange of experiences and serves as a laboratory for ideas and innovation. The partnership is also intended to fund large-scale mobility projects on an annual basis.
