An MoU was signed to develop a 150-acre logistics park in Varanasi, enhancing connectivity and boosting trade efficiency.

The National Highways Logistics Management (NHLML) and Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The agreement was formalised in the presence of Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Sarbananda Sonowal.

Spanning 150 acres, the park will have direct connectivity to NH7 through a 650-meter access road and will be 1.5 km from the NH7-NH2 junction. It will also integrate with the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor via a 5.1 km railway link from Jeonathpur Station and be accessible through National Waterway-1, located 30 km from Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport.

The project is set to boost investment and employment, strengthen logistics infrastructure, and enhance trade efficiency. This initiative reinforces India’s commitment to modernising its logistics sector and supporting economic growth.
