India’s National e-Governance Division (NeGD) has partnered with the Indian Ports Association (IPA) to accelerate digital transformation in the country’s maritime industry. This collaboration aims to address digital gaps, eliminate logistics fragmentation, and modernize outdated practices. The partnership will focus on advanced software development, system integration, and capacity building. It will also promote the adoption of emerging technologies.
The initiative aims to create a technology-driven maritime digital ecosystem, promoting seamless integration and collaboration among stakeholders. India’s maritime sector plays a crucial role in the country’s overall trade and growth, with 95% of trade volume and 65% of trade value undertaken through maritime transport. The government plans to modernize ports using technology, digitization, and renewable energy.
