NEW DELHI, AUG 02, 2024: THE airport operators including Airports Authority of India (AAI) have installed solar power plants at various locations/Airports for generation and self-consumption of green and renewable energy to encourage green energy usage at the airports. In addition, few airports are also procuring green energy through open access.

Since 2014, a total of 73 airports have switched over to 100% green energy usage.

Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has taken initiatives for working towards Carbon neutrality at airports in the country and organized knowledge sharing sessions to standardise Carbon Accounting and Reporting framework of Indian Airports as well as to create awareness on Climate Change mitigation. Further, airport operators with scheduled operations have been advised to map the carbon emission at their respective airports and to work towards carbon neutrality & net zero emission in a phased manner.

Delhi Airport is a carbon neutral airport since 2016, in line with Airport Carbon Accreditation program.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha yesterday.
