Sonowal Inaugurates Green Hydrogen Project at Tuticorin Port
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of freedom fighter V.O. Chidambaranar, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated a landmark green hydrogen pilot project and laid the foundation for multiple infrastructure initiatives at V.O. Chidambaranar Port, Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. This marks a major step toward India’s green maritime future and port-led economic growth.

This aligns with India’s broader commitment to transition to clean energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
