Assam Revives River Trade: National Waterway-57 Becomes Operational After a Decade
In a landmark move, Assam reactivates river-based freight transport with the operationalisation of National Waterway-57 (River Kopili). The MV VV Giri vessel carried 300 MT of cement on a 300-km route, marking a pivotal shift toward eco-friendly and cost-effective logistics. This development adds to Assam's growing 1,168 km of navigable waterways and aligns with Maritime India Vision 2030 and PM Gati Shakti goals.
