The foundation stone for a 150‑tonne‑per‑day e‑Methanol plant was laid at DPA Kandla, signalling a push to develop the port as a green‑fuel hub.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma jointly laid the foundation stone for a 150‑tonne‑per‑day e‑Methanol plant at the DPA Kandla facility. The ceremony was attended by several distinguished dignitaries, underscoring the collaborative effort behind the project.
The plant is intended to produce e‑Methanol, a low‑carbon alternative fuel, positioning Kandla as a strategic hub for green fuels and sustainable maritime operations. Officials highlighted the project's role in reducing the carbon footprint of shipping activities that use the port.
