Parliament clears Indian Ports Bill 2025

Parliament on Monday passed the Indian Ports Bill 2025 with Rajya Sabha approving the Bill. It aims to establish and empower State Maritime Boards for effective management of ports other than major ports, establish the Maritime State Development Council for fostering structured growth and development of the port sector and will provide for the management of pollution, disaster, emergencies, security, safety, navigation, and data at ports. The legislation will ensure compliance with India’s obligations under international instruments to which it is a party and take measures for the conservation of ports. It will also provide for adjudicatory mechanisms for the redressal of port-related disputes and address matters connected therewith.

Replying to the discussion on the Bill, Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said the Bill is very significant because it is a reformative initiative. Sonowal said the Bill was brought after wide consultations with all coastal states and other stakeholders. He stressed that India will soon become one of the leading maritime nations in the world under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He highlighted that India will soon become the third largest economy in the world and his Ministry will contribute in a huge manner to this.

Earlier, moving the Bill, the Minister said the legislation will consolidate the law related to the ports, promote integrated port development, facilitate ease of doing business and ensure optimum utilisation of the country’s coastline.
