As per 2014 US Waterway Report, moving an identical volume of cargo by rail generates 30% more CO2 emissions, and 1000% more CO2 emissions when done by trucks.
Operational cost per ton per km through Inland Waterways is INR 1.06 as compared to INR 1.41 by rail and INR 2.28 by road.*
A 2,000 DWT (deadweight tonnage) barge can keep 125 trucks off the road and 40 wagons offthe railroads thereby relieving congestion off road and railroad.*
One horse power of energy on Inland Waterways can carry 25 times the load carried by roads and 8 times of that carried by rail making it the most energy efficient mode of transportation.*
IWT is the key to boost economic growth and promoting sustainable development

111 National Waterways, 23 (5200 km) have been
identified with potential for mechanized crafts, 17 are
currently operational
73.6 MMT traffic in FY 2019-20, 2.4 times increase since
2015
Currently 2% Modal share of IWT against global share of 8%
to 15% in other continents
MIV 2030 projects growth by 2030; 140 MMTPA
With 14,000 KM waterways, there is ample opportunity.
5Key interventions undertaken for development of inland waterways…
Fairway Development:
Dredging, River training and
conservancy works, bandalling, river
marking, bank protection works
Navigational Aids:
Installation of navigational aids like
buoys, River Information System
(RIS), DGPS, Beacon Lights etc.
Terminal Development:
Development of Multi-modal
terminals (MMTs), Inter Modal
Terminals (IMTs) and Ro-Ro
Terminals
Other Riverine Structures:
Construction of navigational locks,
ship repair facilities, bunkering
stations etc.
Vessel operations:
Vessel designs and pilot runs

Strategies adopted by IWAI to address the challenges faced
Challenges
Lack of awareness about IWT
Shortage of IWT vessels and MRO facilities
Lack of Operational
infrastructure and allied
logistics
Lack of adequate skill and low technology adaptation
Integration with Coastal
Shipping and other modes
Fairway development & Navigational aids
Possibilities and potential benefits being disseminated
through stakeholder interactions and targeted
outreach programs
Promotion of River Cruise Tourism on River Ganga,
Brahmaputra, Goa & Kerala waterways
Shipbuilding Financial Assistance Policy (2016-
2026)
Ship repair facilities proposed at Sahibganj on
NW-1 and Pandu on NW-2
New Inland Vessels Act 2020 proposed
Dual registration of vessels (MS Act & IV Act)
Commencement of river sea movement*
IBP routes connectivity with sea ports like
Kolkata, Haldia and other east coast sea ports
of India
National Inland Navigation Institute (NINI) set up by
IWAI to be developed as CoE
Online courses for Serang, Master Class, Engine
drivers and other skills
Regular conducts of COC (Certificate of
Competency) exams in association with State
Governments
Development of multimodal / intermodal terminals
Appointment of Private O&M operators for IWAI terminals Assess environmental and social impact
regularly to negate potential damage
Regular assured depth based dredging on
required stretches of National Waterways
Digitization of IWAI services
Several e-initiatives in the pipeline
Five year vision
Initiatives taken to achieve vision
Modal share enhancement of IWT from current 2% to 2.5% by including bulk and containerised cargo
Develop 5,000 kms of IWT routes across states (India@75 as per NITI Aayog)
Enhance regional connectivity with North East India & neighbouring countries (Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan & Myanmar) through
Eastern Waterway Connectivity – Transport Grid
Integrate IWT with Coastal Shipping and other modes
Target passenger / Cruise Tourism on waterways by encouraging private sector
Focussing on infrastructure and service gaps
Introduction of e-initiatives
Development of Vessel building, Ship Repair and Hybrid Engine.
Regional Connectivityo Vessel Demando Cruise demand for both Coastal and River Waterways
Vision: Develop a self-sustainable, economical, safe & environment friendly supplementary mode of transport for the
overall economic growth of the country

Opportunities for Steel Transport through IWT mode
The states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha have significant base of steel
production and the manufacturers located in these states serve the demand for a
variety of steel products in Northern, Eastern and North Eastern region of India
as well as neighboring countries Bangladesh & Bhutan
Movement of steel products from Durgapur, Burnpur, Kharagpur, Burdwan
clusters in West Bengal to the North Eastern states may be done from Kolkata/

14 Export shipment from India to Bangladesh via IBP routes have commenced
Containers exported from HDC getting
discharged at Pangaon in Bangladesh
The first containerized export shipment
from India to Bangladesh using IBP
routes was conducted in June 2020. 45
TEUs (approx. 1,250 tonne) of sponge
iron was was flagged off from HDC to
Pangaon
Exporters can utilize IWT mode for transportation of goods in containers to Bangladesh thereby avoiding congested LCSs between the two countries.
Containers with yarn fabric getting loaded at
GR Jetty-II
A successful trial run for exporting
Textiles was conducted in Sept 2020. 2
TEUs of Arvind Mills was shipped to
Bangladesh from GR Jetty-II, Kolkata
using IBP routes
Iron & Steel Textiles
Limestone Boulder flagged-off at Karimganj
A successful trial run for exporting 2
shipments of Limestone Boulder from
Karimganj to Bangladesh and one
shipment of cement from Bangladesh
to Karimganj was conducted in Nov.
2020 through IBP routes.
