ONE NATION, ONE PORT : REDUCING LOGISTICS COSTS AND BOOSTING EXPORTS

The One Nation, One Port initiative aims to standardise and digitise port operations across India to reduce logistics costs, improve efficiency, and enhance global trade competitiveness. By harmonising documentation, promoting paperless clearances, benchmarking port performance through Sagar Ankalan, and enabling digital trade via the MAITRI platform, the initiative strengthens India’s integration with global value chains. Aligned with PM Gati Shakti and Atmanirbhar Bharat, it transforms Indian ports into efficient, sustainable engines of economic growth.
