Vision: Develop a self-sustainable, economical, safe & environment friendly

supplementary mode of transport for the overall economic growth of the country

Scope for capacity building in IWT sector


➢ National Inland Navigation Institute (NINI) at Patna to be developed as “Centre of

Excellence” for IWT sector.

➢ E-learning modules being developed

Potential job creation in IWT sector: More than 1.5 lakh

Connectivity with Myanmar


• Government of the Republic of India through MEA and

the Government of the Union of Myanmar signed a

framework agreement on 2nd April 2008 for

construction and operation of a Multi-Modal Transit

Transport Facility on Kaladan River.

• Framework agreement also includes following

protocols:

➢ Protocol on Facilitation of Kaladan Multi—Modal

Transit Transport (dated 2nd April 2008) for

facilitation to be provided by both parties to ease

movement of goods.

➢ Protocol on Maintenance and Administration of

Kaladan Transit Transport Facility (dated 2nd April

2008) for effective maintenance of the facility.

Connectivity with Bangladesh through IBP Route


It connects NW-1 (Ganga), NW-2 (Brahmaputra) and NW-16 (Barak) with Kolkata and Haldia ports through

Bangladesh and NW-97 (Sundarbans waterways).

A Protocol on Inland Water on Transit and Trade (PIWT&T) between India and Bangladesh has been in existence

since 1972 facilitating movement o inland cargo vessels

Connectivity with Nepal


Considering the availability and significance of IWT

mode for hinterland transportation, India and Nepal

have agreed to include inland waterways mode in

the Treaty of Trade and Transit between the two

countries. Following routes:

✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via proposed

Kalughat terminal)

✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via Varanasi

MMT)

✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via Sahibganj

MMT & Manihari)

Connectivity with Bhutan


• As per the agreement on trade, commerce and

transit between India and Bhutan, Dhubri on

NW-2 is declared as an agreed exit/ entry point

in India for EXIM cargo movement of Bhutan.

• Jogighopa has been included as a Port of Call

under PIWT&T between India and Bangladesh,

which is expected to further attract Bangladesh

bound stone aggregates from Bhutan.

Key Challenges and Bottlenecks (1/2)


➢ Heavy siltation each year

➢ Inadequate draft

➢ Absence of Automated Information systems (RIS &

VTMS)

➢ Disposal of dredged material

➢ Limitation of undertaking river conservancy works

during flood season

➢ Low discharge along fairway

Technical Challenges

Key Challenges and Bottlenecks (2/2)


Other Challenges

➢ More focus on development of faster modes of transport (road, railways, etc.)

➢ Very limited long-term cargo commitment from users Very limited return cargo –

making transportation unviable in many cases

➢ Limited target market (users) due to last-mile connectivity issues

➢ Lack of awareness amongst stakeholders related to transportation through IWT

➢ Minimal private participation in creating, maintaining, operating infrastructure

➢ Lack of skilled manpower as well as limited availability of technical think tanks in

this sector for river engineering and related interventions

➢ The seasonal phenomenon associated with change in water depth &

corresponding constraint in operations/ movement of cargo

Section 7


Way Forward


• Preparation of Maritime Indian Vision document for 2030

• Digitized integrated platform for dissemination of information

• Revalidation of DPRs which are more than 10 years old

• Revival / operationalization of obsolete jetties to attract private sector participation

• Short Distance water transport corridors to be identified

• Smaller floating jetties to be monetized through manning contracts

• Integration with coast line to take benefit from Port led developments

• Commodity enhancement – Coal, Food grain, LPG

• Policy being framed on providing NOC to private jetties

• Moratorium on levy & collection of waterway usage charges for initial period of 3 yrs

• Final version of IV Act submitted to MoS for approval

• SFC for NW 2, 16 & IBP routes submitted to MoS for approval

Emerging Opportunities


Fairway Development and maintenance

Ship Building and Repair facilities – Cargo/ Cruise/ Dredger/ Survey vessels etc.

Terminal Operations – Opportunity for private players for O&M of terminals

River Cruise Tourism – Boost to tourism and hospitality industry

▪ Traffic on NWs is

expected to increase

from 72 million tonnes

(FY 18-19) to 100 million

tonnes (FY21-22)

▪ Traffic on NW-1 is

projected to increased

from 6.79 million tonnes

(FY 18-19) to 27 million

tonnes (FY22-23)

The development of different National Waterways is expected to generate

multiple opportunitiesEmerging Opportunities
