IFC to Lend $70 Million for Shore Power Project at Jawaharlal Nehru Port
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) will lend $70 million to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) to install shore power supply infrastructure across its terminals. This project, India's first 'blue financing' in the maritime sector, will enable ships to switch off diesel engines and connect to land-based electricity, reducing carbon emissions by 63% and air pollution by up to 90%. The initiative aligns with the Indian Ports Act, 2025, aims to create over 400 jobs, and could serve as a model for other ports in the country.
