Jal Marg Vikas Project

The Jal Marg Vikas Project envisages to achieve Least Available Depth (LAD) of 3.00 meters on the National Waterway-1 to enable movement of vessels of 1500 – 2000 DWT ton capacity on the 1620 km Allahabad- Haldia stretch of the National Waterway-1. The Project’s objective is to provide an environment friendly, fuel efficient and cost-effective alternative mode of transportation, especially for bulk goods, hazardous goods and over dimensional cargo. Three Consultancy firms are carrying out relevant studies on the National Waterway-1 as under: 

(i) Detailed Feasibility Study and Detailed Engineering for its Ancillary Works; (ii) Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental Mitigation Plan (EMP) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP); and 

(iii) IWT Sector Development Strategy and Market Development Study.
