Amit Shah to Launch Digital Land Port Management System

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to launch the Land Port Management System (LPMS) in New Delhi on 9 June 2026. The LPMS is a digital platform for the management of land ports and cross-border movement of cargo and passengers.

Land Port Management System

The Land Port Management System is designed to integrate the operations of all land ports into a single system. It provides digital workflows for cargo and passenger processing. Its functions include slot booking, online payments, cargo tracking, and single-window clearances.

Integration with National Digital Platforms

The LPMS will be integrated with ICEGATE, the Unified Logistics Interface Platform, and the Motor Vehicle ecosystem. ICEGATE is the Indian Customs Electronic Gateway used for customs-related electronic filing and data exchange. The Unified Logistics Interface Platform is a national digital logistics platform for data integration across transport and trade systems.
