Waterways to Success

Inland waterways are one of the most environmentally-sustainable modes of transport. They emit 25 to 60 per cent less CO2 per tonne-kilometre than road or rail. Initiatives aimed at encouraging electric ferry services and cargo vessels harmonize the priorities of economic growth with the imperatives of environment protection. Transporting one tonne of cargo over one kilometre costs Rs 1.36 via water, compared to Rs 2.50 by rail and Rs 3.50 by road. This is why there is a push across the country to leverage these advantages.
