Dhamra Port Becomes India's First Private Multi-Cargo Port Fully Powered by Renewables
Dhamra Port in Odisha, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), has become India's first large-scale private multi-cargo port to run entirely on renewable electricity as of August 2026. The port meets over 90 lakh units of monthly electricity demand from renewable sources, totaling more than 108 gigawatt-hours annually. This transition supports APSEZ's Net-Zero strategy and reduces emissions from energy-intensive operations. Renewable power is sourced through captive generation, third-party access, and green procurement under Odisha's regulatory framework, with a significant share from a hybrid power plant in Gujarat.
