Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated VINIMAY — India's Land Port Management System (LPMS) — in New Delhi on June 9, 2026. The digital platform digitises and integrates operations across all land ports into a single unified interface, marking a significant step in India's border trade infrastructure.
Currently, 15 land ports are operational across India. The government has announced plans to develop 11 more land ports over the next 2–3 years, further expanding the country's cross-border trade capacity. The launch of VINIMAY comes at a time when land port trade has grown remarkably — from ₹5,000 crore in 2014 to ₹83,000 crore, a 16-fold increase — reflecting the strategic importance of border trade in India's economic growth.
VINIMAY integrates real-time data from key national agencies and systems on a common platform, including ICEGATE, CBIC, BSF, DGFT, UIDAI, and ULIP. This convergence of data sources enables seamless coordination among regulatory, security, and trade bodies at land borders.
The platform offers a range of features: slot booking for trucks, digital payment facilities, real-time cargo and passenger tracking, and single-window clearances for imports and exports. These capabilities are expected to reduce truck waiting times by approximately 50% and gate processing times by around 30%, significantly improving operational efficiency at land ports.
VINIMAY represents a major governance reform in India's land border trade management, aligning with the broader vision of a digitally empowered and trade-efficient border infrastructure.
