The Government has launched several schemes, missions, and initiatives for the development, expansion, and upgradation of ports across the country. Under the Sagarmala scheme, financial assistance is provided under five pillars, namely, Port Modernization, Port Connectivity, Port-Led Industrialization, Coastal Community Development, and Coastal Shipping and Inland Water Transport, to the implementing agencies like States/ UTs Governments, major ports, and other organisations. The ‘HaritSagar’ green port guidelines have been launched to promote an environment-friendly ecosystem at major ports. The Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP) has been initiated to drive the transition from conventional fuel-based harbour tugs to greener and sustainable alternatives. In addition, the Government has launched the Cruise Bharat Mission to prioritize cruise tourism development.
