The interlinking of the waterways will bring numerous benefits. Bangladesh's sizeable garment industry will, for instance, be able to import raw materials such as cotton from India at competitive prices. And its businesses will gain access to India's vast domestic market, even carrying cargo to Allahabad and Varanasi along the Ganga waterway.
On the Indian side, industries will be able to access manufacturing belts in Bangladesh, saving 10 to 15 percent over land transport costs on some commodities.

First ask them to lower their tariff. No trade till then. We won't kill our domestic manufacturing for their sake. Since the FTA is already in place we will keep imposing anti dumping duty and NTBs. Waterways can be planned once they lower those insanely high rates.The interlinking of the waterways will bring numerous benefits.

Posted On: 02 AUG 2021 6:28PM by PIB Delhi
Parliament today passed the Inland Vessels Bill, 2021, which aims to replace over 100 years old Inland Vessels Act, 1917 (1 of 1917) and usher a new era in the inland water transport sector and also to fulfil the vision of the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, to make the Legislative framework user friendly and promote ease of doing business. Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways moved the bill in Rajya Sabha today. Now the bill will be sent for the assent of President of India.
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal said that the initiative taken is a part of the pro-active approach adopted by the Ministry by repealing colonial laws and replacing them with legislation catering to modern and contemporary needs and development of the maritime sector. Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, also added that the uniform applicability of rules and regulations will ensure seamless, safe and economical trade and transportation by inland vessels using the inland waterways.
Background:
Shri Sonowal informed that to realise the potential of inland water transport and promote it as a supplementary and eco-friendly mode of transport to the congested road and rail network for movement of cargo and passenger, the Government had taken several initiatives and had declared 111 waterways as national waterways.
The Inland Vessels Act of 1917 was conceived to be a pure consolidating legislation having limited applicability and purposes. This Act had undergone several amendments and last major amendments done in 1977 and 2007.This Act had provisions forrestrictive movement of mechanically propelled vessels within the jurisdiction of the State Government, requirement of endorsements, limited applicability and validity of certificates, non- uniform standards and regulations that varied from one State to another led to hindrances and hurdles in seamless navigation across States and development of the sector.
The Minister emphasized that the requirement of a new legal regime, which is adaptive and favourable for future technological developments, capable of facilitating present and future prospects of trade & transportation and safe navigation by inland vessels was necessitated.
Benefits:
The new Act will facilitate harmonised and effective regulation of the inland vessels and their seamless and safe navigation across the States. The benefits include:
I. Uniform applicability of rules and regulations to ensure seamless, safe and economical trade and transportation by using inland waterways.
II. Prescribing of standards for classification and categorization of mechanically propelled vessels, standards and processes involved in registration of vessel; standards for identification and categorization of special category vessels etc. by the Central Government and implementation of the provisions in compliance with the prescribed standards by State Governments.
III. Preserving the statuses of authorities established by the respective State Governments and thereby ensures the effective administration of the provisions of the proposed legislation.
IV. Provides for a Central Data Base /E-Portal for registration/crew database thereby imbibing the spirit of Digital India Campaign.
V. Stipulating higher standards to ensure safety of navigation, protection of life and cargo, prevention of environmental pollution, providing for healthier trade practices, constitution of the welfare fund, transparency and accountability of administrative mechanism, training and development of efficient and skilled workforce.
VI. Covers the future developments and technological advancements in vessel construction and usage. Regulating the technologically advanced vessels of the present and future identified as ‘Special Category Vessels’.
VII. Provisions regarding Wreck and Salvage introduced. Receiver of Wreck to be appointed by the State Government.
VIII. Provisions regarding principles of liability and limitation of liability introduced. To ensure secure trade and trade practices, concept of insurance improvised and expanded.
IX. Provisions relating to casualties and investigation improvised.
X. Ease of compliance for service provider and service users.
XI. Provides a platform for the State Governments to regulate the unregulated sector of non-mechanically propelled vessels.
==========================================
I suppose we have a thread repository for parliament bills and amendments.
Will work as a good academic resource
