First ‘scheduled service’ of vessels launched on Ganga, Brahmaputra, Barak rivers
Sunday, 15 December 2024 India's shipping ministry launched a 'scheduled service' for cargo vessels on the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Barak rivers, alongside the 'Jalvahak' incentive scheme. This initiative aims to boost cargo transport via waterways, offering up to 35% cost reimbursement for long-haul shipments exceeding 300 km. The fixed schedule service connects Kolkata with Patna, Varanasi, and Pandu, promoting efficient and sustainable freight movement.
