The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways has approved a pioneering project with a budget of Rs 46.47 lakh dedicated to the reuse of dredged sediment. This initiative is designed to address critical challenges in managing sediment generated from port dredging activities across the country. By repurposing dredged material, the project aims to explore new avenues for environmental sustainability and resource efficiency in the maritime sector.

The reuse of dredged sediment is crucial for maintaining navigational channels and port infrastructure while minimising environmental impact. The initiative underscores the ministry's commitment to sustainable development practices, aligning with national priorities on environmental conservation and infrastructure enhancement.

The project will focus on developing innovative techniques and technologies for the beneficial reuse of dredged sediment, thereby reducing disposal costs and supporting ecosystem preservation. This strategic investment reflects the government's proactive approach to leveraging natural resources effectively for infrastructure development.

Through this initiative, the ministry aims to set a precedent for integrating environmental stewardship with infrastructural advancement in the maritime domain. This step is expected to pave the way for future projects that prioritise sustainability and resilience in India's ports and waterways infrastructure.
