The IWT Terminal was inaugurated at Jogighopa in Assam. This terminal is strategically located on the Brahmaputra River, part of National Waterway-2 (NW-2). It is significant for boosting economic growth through enhanced inland waterways transport, reducing transit time and transportation costs, and improving multi-modal connectivity, particularly for trade with neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Bangladesh. The initiative aligns with PM Gati Shakti and strengthens India’s Act East Policy, further promoting regional trade and logistics.
