Green Port Performance Index (GPPI) Measuring Progress, Powering Green Transformation

Download

The Green Port Performance Index (GPPI), launched by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, is a strategic framework to evaluate and enhance the environmental performance of Indian ports. Aligned with India’s Nationally Determined Contribution and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, it supports the nation’s transition to carbon-neutral and resilient maritime operations. The GPPI assesses ports through 13 indicators grouped under three objectives, Climate Change, Environmental Health, and Ecosystem Vitality emphasizing measurable, outcome-based results. By standardizing the assessment of emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), energy and water efficiency, waste management, and ecological sustainability, the index enables inter-port benchmarking and promotes continuous improvement. It helps ports monitor decarbonization progress, devise emission reduction strategies, and align with global green standards. Implemented by the National Centre of Excellence for Green Ports and Shipping (NCoEGPS), GPPI drives data-based decision-making, innovation, and recognition for sustainability excellence advancing India’s vision of green, efficient, and globally competitive ports.
