'Multi-modal terminal at Varanasi to be major logistic hub'

The Rs 170-crore multi-modal terminal at Varanasi is set to emerge as a major logistics gateway connecting north India to the eastern and north- eastern states, extending up to Bangladesh, says the Shipping Ministry.

The ongoing construction of the Varanasi terminal that will have waterway, rail and road connectivity is part of the government's Rs 5,369 crore Jal Marg Vikas Project (JMVP).

"Government is working hard to bring down the huge logistics costs in the country. The terminal will help correct India's transport modal mix that imposes huge logistics cost on the economy.

The work on the upcoming terminal at Varanasi - part of JMVP, being implemented by the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), under the Ministry of Shipping was awarded to AFCONS Infrastructure in May last year.

This is a part of ambitious plan to develop waterways and make the Ganga river navigable

"Multimodal hub with rail, road and waterways connectivity will take the state to growth trajectory,phase 1 of the multi-modal terminal would be ready by August 2018.

After completion the cargo that will be handled includes stone chips, cement, food grains, fertilisers, sugar, etc.

The terminal will have road and rail connectivity with proposed links on NH-7 and Jeonathpur railway station, respectively. It will have facilities such as berthing space for two vessels simultaneously, storage area, transit shed, parking areas, among others.

The Varanasi terminal with 0.54 million tons per annum of cargo handling capacity in Phase 1, will complement the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) project, enabling movement of cargo from Ludhiana in Punjab to Haldia in West Bengal and further east, said an official at the Ministry.

Currently, a large portion of cargo from north India is transported to the ports of Kandla and Mumbai through land routes at high cost, and there is much reluctance of the shippers to transport the cargo to the eastern ports of Kolkata, Dhamra, and Paradip

Good news for all those who are exporting to EU – no need of obtaining GSP certificate Form-A, from Export Inspection Council (EIC) subject to registration.
This will eliminate the cost of obtaining GSP certificate from EIC.

You are requested to immediately apply for registration.
This would save you transaction cost and time which is a good news for all exporters
