MoCA  also  advises future  Greenfield  airports  and relevant  state governments  to strive  towards carbon neutrality  and  net zero emissions, focusing on  the  use  of green energy.  

 The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has  taken key  initiatives to  enhance  carbon neutrality and achieve net zero carbon emissions at  Indian airports. 

 This involves  standardizing  the  carbon accounting  and  reporting  framework for Indian airports. Airport operators with scheduled operations are encouraged to assess and map  the  carbon  footprint of  their respective airports,  gradually moving towards  carbon neutrality and net zero emissions.  MoCA  also  advises future  Greenfield  airports  and relevant  state governments  to strive  towards carbon neutrality  and  net zero emissions, focusing on  the  use  of green energy.

 Thanks to  these concerted efforts  of  the Modi government, airports  like  Delhi, Mumbai,  Hyderabad  and Bengaluru have  achieved  Level 4+  certification from  Airports  Council  International  (ACI),  marking  a neutral achievement  their  carbon.  66 Indian airports are  currently running 100%  on  green energy. 

Minister  of Civil Aviation,  General (Dr.) V.K.  Singh  (retired), was  informed in  writing to reply  to a question  asked  in the Rajya Sabha. Singh also  emphasized  that there are currently 14 airports in the country operating  in the form of public-private partnership  (PPP). These  airports are  leased by the Airports Authority of India  (AAI) with an aim to improve  airport infrastructure and facilities by leveraging  efficiency and  private sector  investments. Revenue  from these leased airports is  then  reinvested by AAI to  promote  airport infrastructure  development  nationwide.
