Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) has taken a significant step forward in its mission to digitize and modernize port operations with the inauguration of the Universal E-Seal Reader . The launch ceremony was led by Shri Unmesh Sharad Wagh, IRS, Chairman, JNPA & CMD, VPPL, in the esteemed presence of Shri Giridhar G. Pai, IRS, Commissioner of Customs (NS-II), JNCH.
The Universal E-Seal Reader is a critical technology that enables quick and accurate reading of electronic seals used in containerized cargo movement. By integrating this system into port operations, JNPA aims to enhance cargo tracking, strengthen supply chain security, and ensure faster, more seamless cargo movement.
Speaking at the event, officials highlighted that the adoption of this technology will reduce manual interventions, minimize delays, and support India’s vision of becoming a global logistics hub. The system will also enable real-time monitoring, helping customs and port authorities to ensure compliance and prevent tampering, thus improving overall trade facilitation.
This milestone reflects JNPA’s continued commitment to leveraging technology for operational excellence and aligns with the government’s broader push toward digital transformation in logistics and port operations.
With the Universal E-Seal Reader now in place, JNPA strengthens its role as a key driver of efficiency, transparency, and security in India’s maritime trade ecosystem.
