Logistics Port Performance Index

Logistics Port Performance Index Latest News

Recently, the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) launched the logistics port performance index (LPPI) for FY2024- 25 and 4 major digital initiatives. 

About Logistics Port Performance Index

• It is developed under the Sagar Aankalan framework.
• It is a national benchmarking mechanism designed to assess and improve the operational performance of Indian ports.
• The LPPI evaluates ports across three cargo segments dry bulk, liquid bulk and container cargo using operational indicators such as;
  • Cargo handled, vessel turnaround time, berth idle time, pre-berthing waiting time, container dwell time and ship berth day output.
• The framework assigns equal weightage to absolute performance and year-on-year improvement, encouraging continuous enhancement of port operations.
• The index aligns with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, Maritime India Vision 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, and seeks to strengthen India’s position in global logistics and maritime trade.
