The Lok Sabha has passed the Indian Ports Bill, 2025, which replaces the Indian Ports Act, 1908, to modernise port governance, improve trade efficiency, and strengthen India’s position in global maritime trade. Introduced by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal, the bill aims to simplify port procedures, digitise operations, ensure uniform safety standards, and promote sustainable port development across the country.
