In a significant declaration during the India Maritime Week 2025, Sushil Kumar Singh, Chairman of Deendayal Port Authority, revealed that a series of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed to establish facilities at Kandla for the production of green methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia.
Highlighting a major green initiative, Singh announced the creation of a new bunkering facility to supply sustainable fuels to ships traveling between Rotterdam and Singapore. This aligns with projections that foresee around 200 vessels on this route by 2030, offering a strategic advantage for Kandla due to its location.
Furthermore, MoUs valued at approximately Rs 1.8 lakh crore have been ratified with industry partners. These agreements aim to foster an ecosystem at Kandla for green molecules, ultimately aiding India’s maritime sector in reaching net-zero carbon emission goals by 2050. Collaboration with technology partners and shipbuilders also seeks to boost local capabilities in constructing and repairing commercial vessels.
