The first Dry Port & Inland Container Depot (ICD) in the state was officially opened by Bihar Industries Minister Nitish Mishra in Bihta, which lies outside of Patna. The facility’s multi-modal transportation, customs services, and warehousing are all intended to improve logistics. This facility is going to revolutionize our industrial sector. Customs clearance was previously required for Bihar importers and exporters in ports or other states thousands of kilometers from their home state. Since customs clearing facilities are available here, the opening of ICD Bihta will allow them to compete and establish themselves in international markets. The Ministry of Finance’s Revenue Department has authorized the ICD Bihta as an inland container depot.
It will serve as a one-stop shop for the state’s importers and exporters by offering state-of-the-art warehousing, customs clearing, and transportation services. It has excellent rail connections to Kolkata Port, Haldia, Visakhapatnam, Mundra, and other important ports.
