DP World targets 60% renewable power at Indian terminals by 2026

DP World aims to switch all fossil fuel powered equipment and vehicles at its terminal operations in India to electric power. It has already initiated open access sourcing of green power at its two terminals in Nhava Sheva (NSIGT and NSICT) which will help replace about 75% of conventional electricity needs with green power, leading to about 50% reduction in carbon emissions at the facilities.

We are deeply committed to transforming our terminal operations to make trade greener and more efficient. As we progress on the path to meet 60% of power requirements at all our terminals from green sources by 2026, we will continue to be inspired by the tenets of the Maritime India Vision 2030. We plan to replicate the open access green power sourcing for all our other portfolio assets across India: Rizwan Soomar, DP World

DP World recently commissioned six new e-RTGS at Mundra International Container Terminal (MICT) in Gujarat and four new e-RTGs at the International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT) in Cochin, Kerala.

Renewable energy is also being integrated into the design of terminals. DP World’s new greenfield terminal at Tuna-Tekra in Gujarat is aiming to be 100% compliant with the government’s Green Ports guidelines to make it sustainable and resilient for the future. The project involves the construction of a mega-container terminal near the existing Deendayal Port at a cost of approximately Rs 4,244 crore ($510 million).

Globally, DP World is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and net zero carbon emissions by 2050 with an intermediate target of 28% reduction of carbon footprint by 2030.
