APM Terminals Pipavav signs 25-yr pact with CleanMax to source power
PIPAVAV: APM Terminals Pipavav (Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd), has announced a partnership with CleanMax, one of Asia’s leading renewable energy provider for the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector and a Brookfield backed company This partnership reinforces APM Terminals Pipavav’s commitment towards sustainability by reducing its carbon footprint.
The two companies have signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a hybrid Wind-Solar Power Project in Gujarat. This strategic alliance represents APM Terminals Pipavav’s mission to fulfill its industry-leading commitment to achieve full net-zero status by 2040, as well as to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% by 2030, relative to 2022 levels. APM Terminals Pipavav has made the deliberate and comprehensive decision to pursue netzero operations, acting in the best interests of its stakeholders, including its employees, customers, the environment, and its business operations. Consequently, APM Terminals Pipavav has emerged as a catalyst within the port industry, encouraging other industry participants to adopt similar environmentally responsible practices.
The project, featuring a total capacity of 3.50 MW Wind and 1.06 MWp Solar under the Third-Party Open Access model, was implemented in two phases: the first in January 2022 (2 MW Wind and 0.50 MWp Solar) and the second in September 2024 (1.50 MW Wind and 0.56 MWp Solar).
This hybrid energy solution will deliver approximately 54 lakh kWh/units of electricity annually to APM Terminals Pipavav’s port operations in Amreli, Gujarat, helping avoid
about 3,822 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually –equivalent to planting over 2.24 lakh trees each year By adopting this clean energy approach, APM Terminals Pipavav is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also aligning with global sustainability targets.
Girish Aggarwal, Managing Director of APM Terminals Pipavav (GPPL), said, “This partnership with CleanMax demonstrates our decarbonization efforts for the maritime industry. We are the first company in our industry to have our climate targets officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a globally recognized authority on climate responsibility The association with CleanMax ensures we not only meet our renewable energy targets but also contribute meaningfully to India’s larger environmental goals. This further adds to our commitment to achieve full net-zero status by 2040.”
Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director of CleanMax, shares his insights, “India’s maritime industry plays a critical role in driving economic growth, trade, and job creation By transitioning to renewable energy, key infrastructure like ports can lead the way in demonstrating sustainable operations. Our partnership with GPPL highlights how CleanMax is helping industry leaders embrace clean energy solutions, ensuring long-term energy security and operational efficiency while significantly reducing carbon footprints. By combining wind and solar, we’re able to offer continuous power generation and reliability that will enable GPPL meet their sustainability targets effectively.”

Finance Ministry : Export may get impacted amid weakening demand in developed nations
NEW DELHI: India’s export recovery may face challenges due to softening demand in developed markets, the Ministry of Finance stated in its monthly report recently. Merchandise exports registered moderate growth during the first seven months of 2024-25, attributed to weak external demand and a decline in international commodity prices.
Merchandise imports performed well, driven by strong domestic demand. A larger increase in imports compared to exports resulted in a widening trade deficit. The trade d e f i c i t – t h e d i f f e r e n c e b e t w e e n e x p o r t s a n d imports–expanded from USD 60.02 billion to USD 63.24 billion so far in 2024-25, marking an increase of 5.36 per cent.
During April-October 2024, India’s total exports stood at approximately USD 468.27 billion, reflecting a year-onyear increase of 7.28 per cent. The government remains optimistic about achieving its full-year export target of USD 800 billion. “After a brief moderation during the monsoon months, economic activity picked up in October Demand continues to grow steadily, as indicated by improving FMCG sales volumes in Q2 FY25 across both urban and rural areas,” the finance ministry noted.
On the inflation front, domestic retail inflation rose in October, primarily driven by elevated food prices in select vegetables.
“Supply disruptions caused by heavy rains in major
producing states contributed to price pressures in tomatoes, onions, and potatoes. Elevated global prices also pushed up oil and fat inflation. However, a bumper kharif harvest is expected to reduce food inflation in the coming months Favourable monsoon conditions, adequate reservoir levels, and higher minimum support prices are likely to boost rabi sowing and production,” the Ministry stated.
Looking ahead, the inflation trajectory will largely depend on price movements in edible oils, tomatoes, onions, and potatoes. “On the positive side, early trends in November indicate significantly lower inflation for tomatoes and onions The expected bumper kharif production is likely to ease food inflation in the months ahead,” it added.
India’s retail inflation stood at 6.21 per cent in October, exceeding the Reserve Bank of India’s upper tolerance limit of 6 per cent. After witnessing net inflows for five consecutive months, foreign portfolio investors turned net sellers in October The finance ministry attributed this to heightened geopolitical tensions and recent developments in China, which led to significant withdrawals from Indian equities.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) are likely to remain net sellers in Indian stock markets for the second consecutive month through November, following a four-month buying streak that ended in September.
Ahmedabad Tops in Warehousing transactions in Q3 : Report
AHMEDABAD: Ahmedabad has registered a 129% increase in warehousing transactions in the third quarter of the current calendar year, which is the highest among the top eight cities in the country, said a report by real estate consultant Knight Frank India.
Ahmedabad also registered the highest growth of 55% among the top eight cities of the country, according to the report. The city also saw an average 4% increase in rent.
“Ahmedabad and Kolkata experienced a significant spike in transaction activity in Q3 2024, with volumes growing at a steep 129% and 122% year-on-year during the period,” the consultant’s report said.
“This spike in volume during the quarter has pushed the transaction share of both markets to 13% each in Jan–Sep 2024, compared to 9% each during the same period last year,” said Knight Frank India’s report titled ‘India Warehousing Market Report – Q3 2024.
The report cited that warehouse transactions across eight key Indian markets reached 14.65 million square feet (mn sq ft) in Q3 2024 (July–Sep). Notably, 41% of these transactions involved Grade A spaces.

India’s Tyre exports see 12% growth in H1 FY25
MUMBAI: The tyre exports from the country has registered a 11.7 per cent growth during the first half (AprilSeptember) of FY 2024-25, reaching Rs. 12,131 crore in value, according to Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA), quoting data from the Commerce Ministry
ATMA attributed the growth to sustained investments in domestic R&D and manufacturing capabilities. Favourable demand prospects in global markets, coupled with anticipated monetary easing, provided a further boost.
Resilience of tyre industry
The rise in tyre exports in the first half of the year, despite a tough external environment, is a testament to the resilience of the Indian tyre Industry to ride through a challenging environment and carve a niche for itself, said Arnab Banerjee, its Chairman.
The compelling value proposition offered by the Indian tyre manufacturers on quality is being appreciated globally
leading to a resurgence in demand after de-growth witnessed in export in the first half of the previous year, he added.
In volume terms, tyre exports rose 6 per cent with
Nearly 3.5 million motorcycle tyres were exported during the first half. Colombia was the largest importer of motorcycle tyres from India. Passenger Car Radials (PCR) and Truck and Bus Radials (TBR) witnessed 18 and 19 per cent growth respectively in the first half of the year
The US emerged as the largest importer of tyres from India accounting for 15 per cent of tyre export in value terms, followed by Brazil, Germany, UAE, France and Italy.
Notwithstanding the upbeat performance, downside risks remain due to geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and rising shipping costs However, Indian tyre manufacturers are well-positioned to navigate these challenges with their focus on quality and innovation, ATMA said

Goa CM Pramod Sawant urges Sarbananda Sonowal for boosting trade from Mormugao Port
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Shri Pramod Sawant emphasized the importance of increasing imports and exports at the Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) during his meeting with Union Shipping Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal in New Delhi. Sawant stressed the need for a future-focused plan to enhance trade, stating, “If imports and exports rise, other businesses will automatically flourish.”
During his visit, the Chief Minister also met with the Union Environment Minister to discuss the finalization of the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) and issues related to the Western Ghats Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESA).
When asked about a potential cabinet reshuffle, Sawant dismissed political speculation, noting that no such matters were discussed, as party leaders are currently occupied with developments in the Maharashtra government formation.
The Vice Regal Palace, also known as the ‘Old Palace Hotel’ at Mormugao harbour, is on MPA property Sawant said that importers and exporters from Kolhapur and other areas near Goa can export and
import from Goa. “Sonowal has assured me he will visit the state and after holding discussions he will work on state govt’s proposal,” Sawant said. Among other issues concerning MPA, Sawant discussed the process of transferring the ruins of the historic Vice Regal Palace to the department of archaeology.
“The transfer would facilitate the restoration and preservation of this historically significant site, ensuring its protection for future generations,” Sawant said.
