Pandu port development is given new life after 25 years of stagnation

The Kolkata facility will be supplemented by the new ship repair facility. Currently, boats and barges using the rivers in northeast India must use the ship repair facility in Kolkata, which means a longer trip and higher costs.
It was first proposed many years ago to build a ship repair plant in Guwahati. It started in 1997 after the Ministry of Shipping & Port approved the estimate under the government supported scheme that the IWT (Inland Waterway Transport) Directorate, Government of Assam, had submitted.
In recent years, the government has pushed for the development of inland waterways, particularly National Waterway 1 (Ganga) and National Waterway 2, with an emphasis on the development of multimodal transport in the nation (Brahmaputra). National Waterway 2 has the greatest potential of the two since it links the riverine networks between Bangladesh, West Bengal, and the northeastern region.
