Mangaluru pitched as offshore wind energy zone to boost growth

Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta has urged the government to develop Mangaluru as an offshore wind energy zone, officials said.

The proposal aligns with India’s push toward green energy and port-based development, and is aimed at strengthening the city’s position in the renewable energy sector, reported The Times of India.

Officials said the initiative could help expand energy infrastructure while supporting economic activity linked to port operations.

The proposal highlights Mangaluru’s strategic coastal location as suitable for offshore wind projects.

The move is expected to contribute to long-term infrastructure development and reinforce the city’s role in energy and maritime sectors.
