Read the following passage carefully:
"In March 2026, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways released the operational framework for the Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP) to decarbonize maritime fleet operations across major ports. Under the initial phase, all major ports are mandated to procure or lease at least two green tugs powered by zero-emission fuels such as green hydrogen or ammonia by December 2028. However, non-major ports operated by state maritime boards are exempt from mandatory procurement until 2032, provided they submit annual carbon emission audit reports to the Directorate General of Shipping starting April 2027. Furthermore, financial subsidies up to 30% of the capital expenditure will be granted exclusively to indigenous shipyards manufacturing these green tugs, whereas ports importing fully built foreign green vessels will not be eligible for any financial assistance under the scheme."
