<h1>Inland waterway connectivity to be established linking inland districts to maritime trade, enabling industrial logistics and state-run port operations.</h1> An inland port project will be developed by creating a 262-kilometre navigable waterway connecting inland districts to an existing seaport, requiring substantial dredging. A technical institute has submitted a DPR draft to the state, which will review, comment, and enable final DPR preparation. The state will provide specified land and, following completion, operate the port. The project is coordinated through an MoU with the national inland waterways authority and links to National Waterway-48, aiming to support industrial, logistics, and cargo-transport development.
