Six-Fold Surge in Cargo Movement Through Waterways in 10 Years

Cargo transport through waterways has surged six-fold in the past decade, with the development of new national waterways. The cost of transporting one tonne of freight by waterways is about Rs 1.06 per km, compared with Rs 1.36 per km by railways and Rs 2.50 per km by roads. Water transport produces lower emissions, less noise and consumes less energy, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional road and rail transport.
