A Protocol on Inland Water on Transit and Trade (PIWT&T) between India and Bangladesh has been in existence
since 1972 facilitating movement o inland cargo vessels
Connectivity with Nepal
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
Considering the availability and significance of IWT
mode for hinterland transportation, India and Nepal
have agreed to include inland waterways mode in
the Treaty of Trade and Transit between the two
countries. Following routes:
✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via proposed
Kalughat terminal)
✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via Varanasi
MMT)
✓ Waterway & Road (from Kolkata via Sahibganj
MMT & Manihari)
Connectivity with Bhutan
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
• As per the agreement on trade, commerce and
transit between India and Bhutan, Dhubri on
NW-2 is declared as an agreed exit/ entry point
in India for EXIM cargo movement of Bhutan.
• Jogighopa has been included as a Port of Call
under PIWT&T between India and Bangladesh,
which is expected to further attract Bangladesh
bound stone aggregates from Bhutan.
Key Challenges and Bottlenecks (1/2)
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
➢ Heavy siltation each year
➢ Inadequate draft
➢ Absence of Automated Information systems (RIS &
VTMS)
➢ Disposal of dredged material
➢ Limitation of undertaking river conservancy works
during flood season
➢ Low discharge along fairway
Technical Challenges
Key Challenges and Bottlenecks (2/2)
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
Other Challenges
➢ More focus on development of faster modes of transport (road, railways, etc.)
➢ Very limited long-term cargo commitment from users Very limited return cargo –
making transportation unviable in many cases
➢ Limited target market (users) due to last-mile connectivity issues
➢ Lack of awareness amongst stakeholders related to transportation through IWT
➢ Minimal private participation in creating, maintaining, operating infrastructure
➢ Lack of skilled manpower as well as limited availability of technical think tanks in
this sector for river engineering and related interventions
➢ The seasonal phenomenon associated with change in water depth &
corresponding constraint in operations/ movement of cargo

Way Forward
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
• Preparation of Maritime Indian Vision document for 2030
• Digitized integrated platform for dissemination of information
• Revalidation of DPRs which are more than 10 years old
• Revival / operationalization of obsolete jetties to attract private sector participation
• Short Distance water transport corridors to be identified
• Smaller floating jetties to be monetized through manning contracts
• Integration with coast line to take benefit from Port led developments
• Commodity enhancement – Coal, Food grain, LPG
• Policy being framed on providing NOC to private jetties
• Moratorium on levy & collection of waterway usage charges for initial period of 3 yrs
• Final version of IV Act submitted to MoS for approval
• SFC for NW 2, 16 & IBP routes submitted to MoS for approval
Emerging Opportunities
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI)
Fairway Development and maintenance
Ship Building and Repair facilities – Cargo/ Cruise/ Dredger/ Survey vessels etc.
Terminal Operations – Opportunity for private players for O&M of terminals
River Cruise Tourism – Boost to tourism and hospitality industry
▪ Traffic on NWs is
expected to increase
from 72 million tonnes
(FY 18-19) to 100 million
tonnes (FY21-22)
▪ Traffic on NW-1 is
projected to increased
from 6.79 million tonnes
(FY 18-19) to 27 million
tonnes (FY22-23)
The development of different National Waterways is expected to generate
multiple opportunitiesEmerging Opportunities
