India charts a ₹10,000-crore waterway plan to boost logistics
The Centre seeks to expand India's operational waterways network and achieve the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 target of having more than 50 national waterways capable of handling cargo and passenger traffic ahead of schedule
India is ramping up its inland waterways initiative following a surge in cargo traffic, which has nearly quadrupled in just over a decade. The government is now set to develop over a dozen new national waterways (NWs) in the next five to ten years, with an investment of more than ₹10,000 crore, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Subhash, the infrastructure editor at Mint, is tracking these significant developments in the sector, which is rapidly transforming the Indian landscape.
