Mumbai Port Authority Undertakes ₹1,285 Crore Infrastructure Projects, Expands Green Port Initiatives
The Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA) has undertaken infrastructure projects worth over ₹1,285 crore during the last two years to strengthen port capacity, modernise facilities and promote sustainable operations, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways informed the Lok Sabha.
During 2025-26, MbPA launched major projects including the ₹192 crore Mumbai International Cruise Terminal (MICT) on a DBFOT (PPP) basis, ₹303 crore modernisation of the existing MICT at Indira Dock, ₹80.4 crore shore protection works at Jawahar Dweep, and the ₹470 crore Viksit Bharat Mumbai Marina project.
In 2024-25, the port undertook the ₹161 crore Third Chemical Berth at Pir Pau, a ₹25.84 crore SCADA and PLC automation system for the Marine Oil Terminal, and ₹52.69 crore augmentation of firefighting facilities at Pir Pau Terminal.
Mumbai Port Authority is also implementing several green port initiatives, including an additional 3 MW rooftop solar project under implementation, on top of its existing 1.4 MW rooftop solar capacity; around 57% of the port's electricity requirement is now met through renewable energy. To reduce emissions, MbPA has piloted biofuel blending with BPCL, is inducting green tugs under the Green Tug Transition Programme, and is developing an LNG import and handling facility at Jawahar Dweep, alongside other sustainability measures across its port facilities.
