Sustainable Development and Port-Led Multimodal Logistics Connectivity

The policy highlights the importance of port-led Multimodal Logistics development, capitalizing on Jharkhand’s coastal advantage. With Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) being India’s largest container port, the state aims to enhance EXIM Multimodal Logistics and develop Railway Sidings to improve intermodal connectivity.

Additionally, unused land owned by government departments will be monetized to create shared logistics infrastructure, including cold storage facilities, warehouses, and truck terminals. These facilities will support efficient first and last-mile delivery, ensuring smooth cargo movement throughout the state.
