Centre adds two Gujarat airports, Maharashtra's Jaigarh port to notified immigration posts

New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) The union Home Ministry has designated Rajkot Hirasar and Vadodara airports in Gujarat and Jaigarh seaport in Maharashtra as immigration posts for entry into and departure from India, according to two Gazette notifications dated November 9.
The notifications amend the government's existing list of designated immigration posts under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025.
Under notification S.O. 6102(E), Rajkot Hirasar and Vadodara have been added to the airport category as entries 40 and 41, respectively.
A separate notification, S.O. 6101(E), adds Jaigarh in Maharashtra as entry 43 under the seaport category.
Both amendments have been issued under Section 4(1) of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, which empowers the Central Government to notify designated immigration posts for entry into and exit from the country.
The notifications amend the principal Home Ministry order, S.O. 3987(E), dated September 1, 2025, which specifies the country's designated immigration posts. Under the legislation, designated immigration posts must be staffed by immigration officers or other officers specified by the Bureau of Immigration.
The latest amendments bring the two Gujarat airports and the Maharashtra seaport within the notified immigration-post framework governing international arrivals and departures.
However, the notifications do not specify when immigration clearance operations will begin at these locations or announce any new international flight or shipping services.
The two orders were issued by Nitesh Kumar Vyas, Additional Secretary in the union Home Ministry.
The notifications form part of amendments to the list of designated immigration posts maintained under the 2025 legislation.
