Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah will launch the Land Port Management System (LPMS) in New Delhi on June 9, marking a major step towards technology-driven border management and trade facilitation, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The ministry said the initiative reflects the government’s focus on enhancing efficiency, transparency and security in cross-border trade and passenger movement through digital solutions.
On the occasion, Shah will also inaugurate newly developed stakeholder accommodation facilities at the Dawki Land Port in Meghalaya and the Srimantapur Land Port in Tripura. The facilities are expected to strengthen infrastructure support for border security personnel and other stakeholders operating at the land ports.
According to the ministry, LPMS is a state-of-the-art digital platform designed to integrate operations across India’s land ports into a unified system. The platform will enable secure and real-time exchange of logistics and regulatory information, bringing land ports in line with the digital systems currently used at airports and seaports.
The system aims to improve coordination among government agencies and private operators by providing a neutral and open platform, reducing delays and enhancing operational efficiency.
The ministry said LPMS will introduce end-to-end digital workflows for cargo and passenger processing, including slot booking, payments, tracking and single-window clearances. The platform has been integrated with key national systems such as ICEGATE, the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) and the motor vehicle ecosystem to enable seamless and transparent border management.
Describing the launch as a milestone in India’s journey towards modern border infrastructure, the ministry said the initiative aligns with the country’s broader goals of strengthening connectivity, facilitating trade and enhancing national security.
The Land Ports Authority of India (LPAI), a statutory body under the Department of Border Management in the Ministry of Home Affairs, is responsible for developing and managing land ports across the country’s international borders.
At present, LPAI operates 15 land ports along India’s borders with Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. These include Attari and Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab; Rupaidiha in Uttar Pradesh; Raxaul and Jogbani in Bihar; Darranga in Assam; Petrapole in West Bengal; Dawki in Meghalaya; Sutarkandi, Golakganj and Mankachar in Assam; Agartala, Srimantapur and Sabroom in Tripura; and Moreh in Manipur.
