Port connectivity road projects are being developed to complete the last mile connectivity to improve the logistical efficiency and cargo handling capacities at all ports in the country. The program has been envisioned to connect all major ports, non-major ports as well as inland waterway terminals in the country to create an integrated network to support efficient and unhindered freight movement.
