India's Airports Take Flight Towards Carbon Neutrality

07 Dec 2023 CW Team

"India's Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) is leading the charge towards carbon neutrality in the nation's airports. To ensure consistent carbon accounting and reporting, MoCA has mandated all airports with scheduled operations to assess and document their emissions. Furthermore, MoCA encourages airports to implement phased plans for achieving carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions.

MoCA is also driving sustainability efforts for new airports. Developers of upcoming Greenfield Airports and relevant State Governments are being guided on the importance of carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions, with a focus on promoting green energy sources.

These initiatives are yielding positive results. Major airports like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru have achieved impressive ACI Accreditation at Level 4+ and higher, demonstrating their progress towards carbon neutrality. Notably, 66 Indian airports are now powered entirely by green energy.

Minister of State for Civil Aviation Gen. (Dr) V. K. Singh (Retd) shared these developments in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, reiterating the government's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability within the aviation sector."
