“India–Bangladesh inland waterway connectivity can act as a catalyst for economic integration and sustainable growth in the Northeast. Discuss.”
Introduction (30 words)
The expansion of India–Bangladesh Inland Waterway Protocol Routes (PIWTT) strengthens India’s Act East Policy, enhancing cross-border trade, connectivity, and integration of the Northeast with global markets through cost-effective riverine transport.

The renewed PIWTT (2020, 2025 updates) enables cargo movement from Kolkata–Dhaka–Karimganj–Dhubri, using National Waterways 2 and 16.
Benefits include reduced logistics cost (by 30%), decongestion of road networks, and revival of ports such as Pandu and Karimganj.
It promotes Assam’s tea, bamboo, and petrochemical exports, while improving access to Bangladesh’s Chattogram and Mongla ports.
Joint dredging and riverine infrastructure projects enhance eco-friendly connectivity.
However, challenges persist — siltation, security coordination, and limited warehousing facilities require policy harmonization and investment.

Strengthening waterway cooperation with Bangladesh will transform the Northeast into India’s gateway to ASEAN, ensuring sustainable and inclusive regional growth.
