This commitment, aligned with India’s Maritime Vision 2030, reflects both DP World’s dedication to sustainability and India’s vision to source 60 percent of maritime sector power from green sources by 2030.

To achieve this milestone, DP World plans to transition all fossil fuel-powered equipment and vehicles at its Indian terminals to electric power. Initiatives have already commenced at its Nhava Sheva terminals, NSIGT and NSICT, aiming to replace 75% of conventional electricity with green power. This shift anticipates a 50% reduction in carbon emissions at these facilities.

Rizwan Soomar, CEO and Managing Director for MENA and India Subcontinent at DP World, emphasised their commitment, stating that the company is committed to transforming its terminal operations to make trade greener and more efficient. As the company progresses on the path to meet 60% of power requirements at all its terminals from green sources by 2026, it will continue to be inspired by the tenets of the Maritime India Vision 2030 and will work towards fulfilling the national climate agenda to create shared value for the business and society.

DP World’s efforts span across its terminals in India. It is already converting diesel-powered RTGs to electric and establishing solar power installations. This shift aims to substantially reduce the carbon footprint of cargo, giving customers a sustainable advantage in their supply chain operations.

Moreover, DP World’s forthcoming Tuna-Tekra terminal in Gujarat intends to be 100%-compliant with the government’s Green Ports guidelines, emphasising sustainability in its design. The company plans to expand its renewable energy integration by exploring green power purchase agreements, increasing rooftop solar installations, and implementing low-carbon technology solutions across its Indian portfolio.

Globally, DP World aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. As a “Principal Pathway Partner” at the UN Climate Conference (COP28), the company showcases technology and nature-based solutions to tackle climate change, promoting industry collaboration and advocating for ambitious climate actions worldwide.
