The V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (VOCPA) launched its inaugural Sustainability Report 2026, highlighting a renewable energy coverage increase to approximately 94% and a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2026.
The port became the first in India to produce green hydrogen in September 2025, with ambitions for commercial-scale production by 2029, scaling from 8 kg/day to over 600 kg/day. In FY2025-26, VOCPA handled 43.31 million tonnes of cargo and achieved a total income of ₹1,058.59 crore.
Community investments include healthcare and education, alongside a focus on women's livelihood initiatives. Future plans involve adding 17 MW of wind capacity and further developing green fuel ecosystems. The strategic positioning along the Rotterdam-Singapore corridor may enhance VOCPA's competitive edge in the maritime sector.
