Why naiya?
Currently 65% trade is through roads, which contributes to the already existing traffic congestion and encroachment on the Ganga plain and only 0.5% through waterways, which makes waterways a sustainable choice.
Water transport costs Rs. 1.19 per tonne for each km, which is significantly lesser than rail transport (Rs.1.41/tkm) and road transport (Rs 2.28/tkm).
Capacity of 1 litre fuel for freight in India is 105 tonnes for waterways, 85 tonnes for railways and 24 tonnes by road, which makes waterways an ideal choice- cost effective and efficient.
