India-EU green shipping corridor: Why India could become a major fuel exporter
India could emerge as a major green-fuel exporter as it works with European partners to develop a green shipping corridor. Industry leaders at Sagarmanthan 2026 said India’s renewable energy potential, green fuel ecosystem, and port infrastructure could make it a key supplier to global shipping.
India has the potential to become a major exporter of green fuels as it collaborates with European partners to establish a green shipping corridor linking the two nations, according to industry leaders at Sagarmanthan: The Great Oceans Dialogue 2026 in New Delhi. BC Tripathi, Vice Chairman of AM Green, emphasized that green fuels produced in India should be exported directly, bypassing established hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong.
Sudhir Pathak, CTO of Hero Future Energies, stated that India could become a supplier of green fuels and reduce its dependence on imported energy for shipping. Anupam Sawhney of Sembcorp India highlighted that the shipping industry accounts for nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and India's strong renewable energy potential could help meet the demand for clean fuels.
Rajeev Goyal of EXMAR expressed readiness to ship green ammonia once manufacturers and ports are prepared. However, the industry acknowledged that investing in dedicated storage infrastructure at ports would be crucial for the success of green fuels and shipping.
