THE north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) is developing a network of dry ports and freight container stations to boost exports, reports New Delhi's Business Standard.
Under the UP Warehhousing and Logistics Policy 2022, the state will fast-track land allotments for logistics parks, subsidies, and incentives to attract private investments.
The state will support the private sector in developing storage facilities, cold chains, multi-modal parks, container depots, and container freight stations.
"The fresh policy has been framed with an objective of developing a strong logistics ecosystem and fostering an international business and investment environment to achieve the trillion-dollar economy vision," said a government official.
The government declared it would leverage the Varanasi-Haldia inland waterway to catalyze exports.
The state plans to harness the cheaper cargo movement from Varanasi via the waterway to seaport in West Bengal to boost farm and dairy products shipments.
The Varanasi-Haldia inland waterway is operated by the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI).
Currently the UP government is looking to develop other intrastate inland waterways systems to support passenger and cargo movements.
