Mormugao Port to acquire next-generation digital technologies with proposed dedicated private 5G network

Mormugao Port Authority Goa (MPA) has become India’s first Major Port and Government Autonomous Body to secure Captive Non-Public Network (CNPN) authorisation for a dedicated private 5G network.

This development marks an important step towards transforming Mormugao into a smarter, more connected and technologically advanced port.

The proposed private 5G network is expected to enable:

* Real-time cargo tracking and monitoring

* Smarter and more efficient cargo-handling operations

* Enhanced surveillance and port security

* Greater automation and seamless connectivity

* Improved operational visibility and efficiency 

The authorisation marks a significant step towards the adoption of next-generation digital technologies in port operations.

The initiative aligns with the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways’ focus on digitisation, process optimisation and improving operational efficiency across the maritime sector. The proposed private 5G network is expected to support technology-driven port operations and strengthen the digital infrastructure at Mormugao Port, said a release.
