Jalore (Rajasthan):
With an aim to boost trade and improve interstate connectivity, the Centre and the Rajasthan government will jointly develop an inland port in the Jalore district that will connect the state directly with the Arabian Sea via Kandla Port in Gujarat, announced state Water Resources Minister Suresh Rawat on Tuesday.




The development comes after the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras submitted the draft of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the inland port, which is currently being studied by the Rajasthan government. The final DPR will be presented once the Rajasthan government provides its comments on the draft.

"The inland port will open new avenues for industries in Jalore, Barmer, and surrounding regions, including textiles, stone, agricultural products, oilseeds, guar, pulses, and millet," Rawat was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

Here's everything you need to know about this project: ​

• For this project, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was also signed in Mumbai last month between the Rajasthan River Basin and Water Resources Planning Authority and the Inland Waterways Authority of India.
• It will be a 262-kilometre waterway that will connect Jalore with the Gulf of Kutch. The project aims to reduce dependency on roads and railways for transporting cargos.
• It will also link the Jawai-Luni-Run of Kutch river system, which has already been declared National Waterway-48 by the central government.
• The project involves dredging costs of over Rs 10,000 crore.
• The Rajasthan government will provide 14 km of land for the inland port's development. Once the project gets completed, it will be completely operated by the state government.
• According to an estimate, this project will help in generating around 50,000 employment opportunities in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
• It would also lead to establishment of new industries, warehouses, cold storage facilities and industrial clusters in Rajasthan.

The Water Resources Minister of the state Suresh Singh Rawat said, "this will usher in a new era of maritime connectivity for Rajasthan as this is the biggest step towards developing an inland port (waterway) in Jalore after the Jawai-Luni-Run of Kutch river system was declared National Waterway 48. Rajasthan will join the maritime states and move towards becoming a logistics powerhouse.”

This ambitious project will directly connect Rajasthan to Kandla Port (Kutch). Currently, studies are underway to establish a waterway to Jalore. This includes the Bhawatara-Navlakhi route and the Kandla Creek (approximately 262 km). According to the MoU, dredging will cost more than ₹10,000 crore.

Minister Rawat said that the Inland Waterways Development Authority of India, the National Institute of Technology for Ports, Waterways and Coasts, IIT Madras, and the Water Resources Department are conducting a survey on the waterway's DPR. This includes year-round water availability, land requirements for the project, and estimated costs. Experts from IIT Madras will soon visit Rajasthan for field studies.


Notably, the Luni-Jawai Basin and the Jalore-Barmer region have significant trading activities involving textiles, stone, agricultural products, oilseeds, guar, pulses, and millet. A refinery project is also nearby. The state government is hoping that sea connectivity will accelerate the expansion of industries and a significant portion of cargo will be transported via waterways, reducing the burden on roads and rail.
