Adani's Dhamra Port becomes India's first private port on renewable power
Dhamra Port in Odisha, run by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), now runs fully on renewable electricity. It is India's first large-scale private multi-cargo port to do this. The shift, effective August 2026, covers cargo handling, storage and rail work, and supports APSEZ's Net-Zero plan. If your business is energy-heavy, review your own power mix.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Dhamra Port handles more than 48 million tonnes of cargo annually and now meets over 90 lakh units of monthly electricity demand from renewable sources.
- About 25-30 per cent of the port's renewable electricity comes from APSEZ's captive hybrid power plant at Khavda in Gujarat.
- Another 10-15 per cent is sourced through third-party access, and the remaining need is met through a Green Consumer arrangement with Odisha's distribution utility.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your factory, warehouse or office has heavy electricity costs, ask your supplier or a consultant about captive renewable power, third-party access and green power options, and check what your own state's rules allow before committing.
