Cabinet gives nod to allocate 2.5% of CRF proceeds for National Waterways

25 May 2017 Evaluate

With an aim to improve the efficiency of the inland water transport sector, the Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its nod to allocate 2.5 percent of Central Road Fund (CRF) proceeds for National Waterways (NWs) that would result in around Rs 2000 crore proceeds per annum for their development and maintenance. CRF is a duty on excise and customs imposed on petrol and high speed diesel. The cess at present is Rs 6 per litre.

The Cabinet has also directed that while implementing viable NWs projects, all such components that can be done on PPP basis, should be explored accordingly and government funding may be used only if private investment is not upcoming for any component. The Central Road Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2017 would be moved by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in the ensuing monsoon session of Parliament.

The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) has estimated that about Rs 25,000 crore would be required for development of identified projects on NWs till 2022-23. IWAI also planned to undertake work on the development of 24 NWs during the next three years. It is estimated that 1.8 lakh persons would be provided employment in the Inland Waterways Transport (IWT) sector in the next five years. Moreover, new employment opportunities are expected to be generated for operation and management of fairway, terminals, aids to navigation, barges, training, etc.
