- The Union Ministry of Port Shipping and Waterways has officially launched the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP).
- The Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP) as a key initiative under the ‘Panch Karma Sankalp’.
- The GTTP is designed to phase out conventional fuel-based harbour tugs operating in Indian Major Ports and replace them with green tugs powered by cleaner and more sustainable alternate fuels.
- Phase 1 of the GTTP will begin on October 1, 2024, and continue until December 31, 2027.
- During this phase, four Major Ports—Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority, Deendayal Port Authority, Paradip Port Authority, and V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority—will procure or charter at least two green tugs each.
