The government is banking on two key initiatives — PM Gati Shakti and the Jalvahak scheme — to drive this shift. PM Gati Shakti focuses on integrated multimodal infrastructure planning, while Jalvahak is designed to incentivize cargo movement via inland waterways.

Expanding waterway freight capacity could also lower logistics costs and improve supply chain efficiency across the country.
