The Union Minister of Port Shipping and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal officially launched the SOP for Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP) in New Delhi. The GTTP aims to replace diesel-powered tugs with zero-emission tugs, starting Phase 1 from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2027, involving an investment of around INR 1000 Crores.
During Phase 1, four Major Ports in India—Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority, Deendayal Port Authority, Paradip Port Authority, and V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority—will each procure or charter at least two green tugs based on standardized designs.
The GTTP will initially focus on battery-electric tugs, with future provisions for adopting other green technologies such as hybrid, methanol, and green hydrogen as the maritime industry evolves.
