Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, launched the Land Port Management System (LPMS) ‘VINIMAY’ in New Delhi on 9 June 2026. The digital platform is designed to modernise border management by integrating cargo handling, passenger movement, vehicle processing, and inter-agency coordination into a single system. LPMS aims to reduce paperwork by around 90%, improve trade efficiency, strengthen security, and enable real-time information sharing among multiple government agencies. The initiative forms a key component of India’s Smart Border strategy, which focuses on technology-driven operations, enhanced surveillance, smoother cross-border trade, and improved connectivity at land ports.
