Shah To Launch Land Port Digital Platform To Cut Delays at Border Trade Points

New platform aims to streamline cargo and passenger movement.

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch the Land Port Management System (LPMS) on Tuesday, a digital platform aimed at integrating operations across land ports into a unified system.

He will also inaugurate stakeholder accommodation facilities at Dawki in Meghalaya and Srimantapur in Tripura, according to an official statement.

The LPMS is designed to enable coordination among government agencies and private operators, with the aim of reducing delays and improving operational efficiency.

The platform will provide end-to-end digital workflows for cargo and passenger processing, including slot booking, payments, tracking and single-window clearances.

“Fully integrated with key national platforms such as ICEGATE, ULIP, and the motor vehicle ecosystem, LPMS will enable interoperable, efficient, and transparent border management,” the statement said.

The system will allow real-time exchange of logistics and regulatory information and is intended to align land port operations with digital systems used at airports and seaports.

“This initiative underscores the Narendra Modi government's commitment to smart border management, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and security in cross-border trade and passenger movement through technology-driven solutions,” the ministry said.

The government said the platform reflects its focus on strengthening trade facilitation, connectivity and national security through technology-driven systems.
