AHMEDABAD : Shri Nilabhra Dasgupta, IRS, Dy. Chairman, Deendayal Port Authority, highlighted strategies to strengthen Gujarat as a global export gateway and the role of DPA as a partner in such growth at CII Gujarat Export Conclave here on 12th September.

He emphasised the significance of Gujarat’s ports, which handle more than 40% of India’s total cargo traffic, play a pivotal role in driving the nation’s trade ambitions. Notably, DPA’s green initiatives drew strong attention and vibrant discussions among the gathered delegates. He said,”By leveraging advanced port infrastructure and seamless connectivity, we can transform Gujarat into India’s premier export gateway.”

A key focus of his speech was on DPA’s commitment to sustainability. He elaborated on the port’s ongoing and planned green initiatives, which include renewable energy integration, eco-friendly logistics solutions, and measures to minimize the environmental footprint of port operations. These initiatives, he noted, are not only vital for aligning with India’s net-zero goals but also serve as a model for responsible and future-ready port management.
