Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has launched the Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming India’s maritime sector into a sustainable and eco-friendly industry, reports Press Information Bureau (PIB).
The program seeks to replace existing diesel-powered tugs with zero-emission tugs, significantly reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
The GTTP is expected to attract an investment of approximately Rs 1,000 crore for the construction of green tugs. The first phase of the program will commence on October 1, 2024, and will run until December 31, 2027.
