In a landmark move toward sustainable maritime operations, Netincon Marketing Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of the Ripley Group, has emerged as the lowest bidder for India鈥檚 first electric green tug tender floated by the Deendayal Port Authority. The company quoted a daily hire rate of Rs 6.3 lakh鈥�5.97% lower than the reserve price of Rs 6.7 lakh.
To meet the tender's technical requirements, Netincon Marketing has partnered with Mandovi Drydocks, a Goa-based shipbuilder, to construct the electric tug. The contract will run for 15 years, marking a significant step in India鈥檚 effort to decarbonize port operations.
This development is part of the Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP) launched by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways in August 2024. The programme aims to replace conventional harbour tugs with green alternatives that run on cleaner fuels.
In the first phase, which runs until December 2027, four major ports鈥擩NPA, Deendayal, Paradip, and VOC Port鈥攚ill each acquire or charter at least two green tugs, supported by a projected investment of ?1,000 crore. The Standing Specification Committee (SSC) has developed standardised designs to guide this transition.
Netincon, traditionally active in stevedoring, logistics, and ship owning, will now play a pivotal role in India鈥檚 push for greener, future-ready port infrastructure.
