Maritime INDIA @ Net Zero National Green Shipping Policy (NGSP) 3-Day Webinar

The National Green Shipping Policy (NGSP) is being developed as a comprehensive framework to guide India’s transition towards environmentally sustainable, energyefficient and future-ready maritime operations. The policy adopts a systems-based approach, addressing the maritime value chain across seven key pillars, viz. Green Fuels, Green Ports, Green Ships, Green Ship Recycling, Green Technology, Green Finance and Green Skill Development & Capacity Building, with an additional crosscutting focus on Pollution Prevention.

In this context, the Maritime INDIA @ Net Zero – NGSP Multi-Ministerial Workshop was conducted on 14–15 January 2026, jointly by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) and the National Centre of Excellence for Green Ports and Shipping (NCoEGPS) - TERI. The workshop served as a high-level platform bringing together ministries, regulators, industry stakeholders and technical institutions to deliberate on the proposed NGSP framework and its implementation pathways.

Building upon the outcomes and deliberations of the workshop, the Directorate General of Shipping, in collaboration with NCoEGPS, is conducting a structured 3-day webinar series to undertake detailed pillar-wise consultations on the NGSP.
