Inland Waterways Authority of India

New Delhi,January, 18th October 2014 2012 2 Institutional set up for IWT

• Govt. of Indian set up in October 1986 for development and regulation of Inland Waterways • Only National Waterways (NW) under the purview of Central Govt. / IWAI • Other waterways under the respective State Govts • IWAI mandated, interalia, to take up

 Infrastructure development & regulation on NWs

 Techno- economic feasibility studies

 Proposals for declaration of NWs

 Advise the Central Govt on IWT matters

 Assistance to States in IWT development

•3  Rlys had IWT 88% share in 1951; now only 36%

 Roads share went up from 11% in 1951 to Sub optimal utilization of IWT is a great 50 % economic opportunity loss to the country

12 Complexities of Indian waterways • NW-1 (Ganga) and NW-2 (Brahmaputra); typical alluvial rivers

 large water level fluctuation

 huge sediment load, multiple channels

 maintaining a navigable channel with 2 m depth, a difficult task • Hence dredging & bandalling is done annually • NW-3 is a tidal waterway

 Once depth is developed with capital dredging, it can be maintained for a number of years • NW-4 & 5 are combination of rivers, canals and tidal sections

Grand Total 60.03 69.61 74.30 70.29 23.68 Cargo potential

• Potential for cargo movement in NWs:

 Coal, Food grains, Fertilizers, Cement, Bitumen, Fly ash, Project cargo, Hazardous goods • Yet remains untapped • Long term cargo commitment required to attract private investment in vessels

 Commitment by NTPC has drawn investment of Rs 650 crore by private sector

 Commitment by ONGC made it possible to move more than 90 consignments for Palatana power plant in Tripura

•15 ODC movement What has been done by IWAI

•34 Issues

• Validity of Protocol for short periods

• Insufficient navigable depth in Protocol routes

• Development of Ashuganj as Transhipment terminal

• Development of infrastructure at LCS Agartala and strengthening of roads

• Inclusion of Surma river between Ashuganj and Chhatak/Sylhet in Protocol route

•35 National Waterway Grid Study

• The idea of National Waterways Transport Connectivity Grid had emanated from the 2013 Budget speech of the Finance Minister

• IWAI has entrusted with this task and the study was awarded to M/s RITES in two phases

• It envisages creation of connectivity for the 5 National Waterways (NW) and the proposed 6th NW with road and rail connectivity to IWT locations. Also envisages port- NW connectivity, wherever possible

•36 National Waterway Grid Study

• 31 potential terminal locations have been identified in 6 NWs based on 80% O-D traffic in the primary corridor ( approx 50 km on both sides of NW).

• Port- NW connectivity at 7 ports ( Kolkata, Haldia, Dhamra, Paradip, Kakinada, Krishnapatnam & Kochi)

• Consultation with stakeholders viz State Govts, Ports, NHAI, Ministry of Railways has already done.

• Ph-1- 14 terminals during 2014-17 • Ph-2- 17 terminals during 2017-22
