Adani Gangavaram Port launches digital smart gates to boost cargo efficiency

Visakhapatnam, Mar 11 (UNI) Adani Gangavaram Port Limited on Wednesday unveiled its Digital Smart Gates, an automated entry system for cargo vehicles described as a “DigiYatra-like” initiative for ports. The system is designed to enhance operational efficiency and streamline logistics at the Visakhapatnam facility.
The system was inaugurated by N. Sridhar, Principal Commissioner of Customs & CGST, in the presence of senior customs officials and port management at the facility in Visakhapatnam.
In a release, the Port said the digital gates have been implemented across key operational points including parking zones, entry gates, weighbridges and tarpaulin stations, enabling automated and contactless vehicle movement across the port.
The system integrates FASTag and RFID-based verification with the port’s Terminal Operating System (TOS) and Port Operating System, allowing faster vehicle clearance, improved security checks and real-time monitoring of cargo movement.
The initiative is expected to reduce congestion, minimise manual intervention and improve overall turnaround time for logistics operators by enabling seamless digital tracking and automated documentation.
Speaking on the occasion, Sridhar said technology-driven systems in port operations play a key role in facilitating seamless trade while maintaining regulatory oversight.
Port authorities said the digital transformation initiative aims to strengthen transparency, improve traffic management and deliver a more predictable and efficient experience for transport partners and customers.
With the implementation of Digital Smart Gates, the Port said it aims to set new benchmarks for automation and operational efficiency in India’s maritime logistics sector.
