India has launched the Logistics Port Performance Index (LPPI) for 2024-25 and four major digital initiatives aimed at modernising the maritime sector, improving transparency and enhancing global competitiveness. The LPPI will benchmark Indian ports across dry bulk, liquid bulk and container cargo segments using metrics such as turnaround time, berth efficiency and cargo handling performance.
The government also launched a 24×7 grievance redressal system under the e-Navik platform, a ship registration module on the e-samudra platform, a medical practitioner module and a unified ship recycling credit note module. The unified ship recycling portal for ship recycling credit scheme is part of a Rs 700 billion maritime development package announced last year.
