Hope this system is truly user-friendly for the small business owners and truckers who use the port daily. Sometimes these big IT projects look good on paper but are difficult to use on the ground. Fingers crossed for a smooth rollout!

Reducing cost of business is the key phrase here. If this system can bring down logistics costs even by 5-10%, it will make Indian goods more competitive globally. Well done to the team at Deendayal Port and Tech Mahindra. More ports should follow.

Good to see development projects worth 193 crore also being launched. Infrastructure and digitization must go hand in hand. Kandla Port has always been a workhorse for India. Modernizing it is essential for our economic growth.

While this is positive, I hope the training for port staff and users is thorough. A world-class system is only as good as the people operating it. The focus should now be on capacity building to ensure maximum benefit.
