Based on preliminary ground survey in khazans of different talukas in Goa, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has demonstrated an ecological gradient from freshwater-dominated upstream systems to brackish and hypersaline downstream environments. Such gradient drives soil productivity, water conditions and crop variations.
Key objectives of the present scope of work are:
India’s maritime sector is at a critical juncture, where decarbonisation imperatives must be pursued in a manner that is technically robust, operationally safe and economically viable.
India’s road transport sector is undergoing a significant transition, with electrification, natural gas, conventional fuels and emerging low-carbon technologies expected to coexist across different vehicle applications.
Post-Green Revolution Challenges
Fifty years after the Green Revolution, India is navigating "second-generation" agricultural challenges. Intensive, inorganic chemical-based farming has led to a decline in crop productivity, deteriorating soil health, and a loss of soil organic carbon.
The Hon'ble High Court of Madras, through its order dated 10.01.2025 in WP Nos. 27356 and 28266 of 2022 and WMP Nos. 13292, 13294, 35572, and 3700 of 2024 have directed the concerned authorities to take prompt and decisive action regarding environmental violations.
OTBL Campus Impact Challenge 2.0 - Encouraging Innovative Solutions for Environmental Sustainability in School Campuses
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), in partnership with ONGC TERI Biotech Limited (OTBL), launched the ‘OTBL Campus Impact Challenge’ to inspire youth-led innovation for sustainability across Assam.
The Green Ports Rating Framework and ESG-Based Reporting for Ports project has been undertaken to support India’s maritime sector in its transition toward sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible port operations.
The Shore-to-Ship Power (SPS) Business Model project focuses on developing a scalable, techno-economically viable, and policy-relevant framework for implementing SPS systems across major Indian ports. SPS enables berthed vessels to shift from fossil-fuel-based auxiliary diesel generators to grid electricity, resulting in significant reductions in fuel costs and emissions.
The National Green Shipping Policy (NGSP) is an ongoing initiative led by the National Centre of Excellence for Green Ports and Shipping (NCoEGPS) to develop a comprehensive and forward-looking policy framework for India’s maritime sector.
India has operationalized the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), notified in June 2023 under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022, establishing a domestic carbon market that builds on the earlier Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) framework.
