NHLML join forces with IWAI to develop multi-modal logistics park in Varanasi

The National Highways Logistics Management (NHLML) and Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a state-of-the-art multi-modal logistics park (MMLP) in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

The 150-acre park will integrate with the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor through a 5.1 km railway line from Jeonathpur Station and National Waterway-1 and is located 30 km from Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, the ministry of road transport and highways said in a statement.

The logistics park is connected to NH7 via a 650m access road and is just 1.5 km from the NH7-NH2 junction. “The project promises significant investment and employment opportunities, strengthening India’s logistics sector, enhancing trade efficiency, and driving economic growth,” the ministry said.
