Perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of the celebration was the plantation activity organized for the hotel’s young guests. The initiative was warmly received by guests, many of whom appreciated the hotel’s effort to make sustainability personal, tangible, and accessible.

For The Orchid Hotel Mumbai, sustainability is not limited to a single day of observance. It is deeply woven into the hotel’s identity and operational philosophy.

Mumbai Port Authority organised a tree plantation drive on World Environment Day 2026 under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam initiative, reinforcing the message that caring for the environment begins with individual responsibility and collective action.

The plantation programme was organised by the Civil Engineering Department of Mumbai Port Authority at two locations. A total of 1,500 plantations were undertaken as part of the drive, including 500 trees at Ram Mandir, Cotton Green East, and 1,000 bamboo plants along the footpaths at Sewri Gadi Adda, below Atal Setu, Sewri East.

The first plantation activity was held at Ram Mandir, Cotton Green East, Mumbai 400033, in association with FICCI FLO. The second activity was held at Sewri Gadi Adda, below Atal Setu, Sewri East, Mumbai 400015, in association with the Director General of Shipping and Amazing Nautical Association.

The initiative carries a larger public message beyond plantation numbers. Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam encourages citizens to plant a tree in honour of their mother and, through that gesture, recognise the nurturing role of nature in everyday life. The drive also reflects Mumbai Port Authority’s effort to contribute to greener public spaces in areas connected with the port and the city.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. P. N. Bahekar, Secretary, Mumbai Port Authority, said, “A tree planted in the name of one’s mother is not only a tribute, it is a promise to protect life, nurture nature and leave behind a healthier environment for the next generation. Mumbai Port Authority is proud to be part of Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam on World Environment Day. As a public institution deeply connected with Mumbai and its people, we believe that development and environmental care must move together. Every tree planted today is a small but meaningful step towards cleaner air, greener public spaces and a more responsible future.”

The bamboo plantation at Sewri East will add to the greenery along a key public movement corridor near Atal Setu, while the plantation at Cotton Green will support green cover in a port-linked urban area.

Mumbai Port Authority has been taking steps towards sustainable port operations and environmental care across its areas of work. The World Environment Day plantation drive reflects this commitment to cleaner, greener and more responsible development through participation by institutions, partner organisations and citizens.
