Description
Inland transport plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth movement of goods across land, supporting both domestic and international trade. Whether by road, rail, or inland waterways—or through a combination as intermodal transport—it forms the backbone of a nation’s logistics network. In India, the history of inland transport traces back to ancient times, with routes like the Grand Trunk Road facilitating connectivity across regions. Over centuries, the system has evolved through significant infrastructure advancements such as the development of the Buckingham Canal, the expansion of rail freight corridors, and modern initiatives like Bharatmala and Sagarmala. These improvements have strengthened connectivity between ports and inland regions, ensuring timely delivery and boosting trade efficiency. Inland transport not only supports the economy but also fosters regional integration, making it indispensable in today’s fast-paced trade environment. As the demand for faster, more sustainable logistics solutions grows, inland transport continues to adapt, reinforcing its position as a crucial element in the global supply chain.
