India Reviews Ports to Boost Capacity and Green Transition

India has initiated a nationwide review of its ports to identify operational shortcomings and infrastructure deficiencies, according to government officials. The evaluation covers all major ports with the aim of scaling up capacity, preparing them for larger ships, and incorporating green energy solutions.

A senior government official revealed that the review will help establish benchmark standards and best practices for ports, which can be applied across the country. In addition to improving infrastructure, the government plans to rank ports and set common minimum standards.

This initiative is part of the Maritime India Vision 2030 and the long-term Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047. The review also seeks to optimize cargo handling and reduce ship turnaround time. With new technologies emerging since Vision 2030, the evaluation will explore green infrastructure projects, such as Green Hydrogen storage and renewable energy generation, alongside futuristic technologies like methanol and battery-powered ships.

Some ports, such as Visakhapatnam and New Mangalore, already meet their energy needs entirely through renewable sources, while others, like Paradip and Chennai, are looking to catch up. The goal is to create all-round improvement by sharing best practices and innovations.
