Govt to facilitate investments in inland waterways sector

12 Sep 2014 Evaluate

With an aim to attract high investment in inland waterways sector, government is planning to take various policy initiatives to make the sector economically viable for business. Minister for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari has stated that, in order to build terminals, water ports and seaports, the government will provide all facilities, concessions to make waterways sector attractive for investors.

A waterway is a shipping route consists of one or several waterways include rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and canals. Waterways are a fuel-efficient mode of transport with barely 55 paise a km charge for transportation as against Rs 1.5 on highways. Freight transportation by waterways is highly under-utilised in India compared to other large countries and geographic areas like the United States, China and the European Union. Waterways sector accounts for around 0.5 percent of total freight movement in the country whereas in China waterways contribute 20 percent of the total traffic in the country.

Nitin Gadkari further asserted that the government will give more importance to the waterways sector which will provide impetus to Indian economy. The government has earlier suggested utilising the entire potential of the Ganga by using it as a waterway from Gangotri to Kanpur, and Kanpur to Patna for transportation. The government is also planning to set up a Waterport Authority of India to facilitate plying of seaplanes.
