The Gujarat Forest Department launched a ₹2.94 crore Plastic Waste Management Project around the Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary in August 2026. The initiative is approved under the Project for Eco-Restoration in Gujarat with support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It aims to reduce plastic pollution by encouraging waste collection from surrounding villages and to protect Nalsarovar's sensitive wetland ecosystem. The project also seeks to support local livelihoods through recycling activities and community participation. Officials emphasise sustainable practices and biodiversity conservation as central to the effort, with potential benefits for eco-tourism and regional environmental resilience.

VOC Port becomes India’s first major port with Scope-2 emission-free status

V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority at Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, became India's first major port to achieve Scope-2 emission-free status. The port increased its use of renewable energy, including solar and wind, and adopted energy-efficient practices across terminal operations and power supply contracts. Scope-2 emissions are indirect greenhouse gases from purchased electricity. The port's shift reduces its carbon footprint and aligns with national climate goals and green maritime initiatives. Authorities say ongoing investment in clean energy will help other ports reduce emissions and improve air quality in the region, supporting sustainable growth in India's coastal economy.
  • VOC Port achieves Scope-2 emission-free status
  • Increased use of solar and wind energy
  • Scope-2: indirect emissions from electricity purchases
  • First major Indian port to reach this status
  • Supports green maritime initiatives and coastal economy
