Reviving the Ganga waterway: Transforming northern India’s logistics and connectivity

India is revitalizing the Ganga waterway, transforming it into a modern transport and trade artery. Supported by the World Bank, this initiative integrates river, road, and rail networks, reducing congestion, lowering costs, and fostering economic growth. Upgraded facilities, including a state-of-the-art navigation lock at Farakka and multimodal terminals, are boosting trade efficiency and improving connectivity for local communities. The project is set to enhance regional commerce, linking northern India to its northeastern states and neighboring countries like Bangladesh and Myanmar.
