India is aggressively pursuing “Green Shipping” targets to align with international environmental standards by 2030. The Ministry of Shipping has mandated that major ports must derive at least 60% of their power from renewable sources like solar and wind. In tandem, the government is promoting the use of electric and hybrid-powered vessels for inland waterways, starting with the National Waterway-1 (Ganga). This shift is not just environmental but economic, as green-certified logistics chains are increasingly becoming a requirement for European and North American trade partners, ensuring Indian exports remain future-ready.
