PM to Inaugurate Ro-Pax Water Transport Facility in Assam

In order to improve connectivity and water transportation in Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a series of infrastructure projects in the state on Thursday, including the Ro-Pax vessel operations between Neamati-Majuli Island, North Guwahati-South Guwahati, and Dhubri-Hatsingimari.
The inauguration is part of the launch of Mahabahu-Brahmaputra. The program will also include laying the foundation stone of the Dhubri Phulbari bridge and perform Bhumi Pujan for the construction of the Majuli bridge. The Ministry of Shipping has launched a roll-on-roll-off cum passenger ferry service called Ro-Pax. It is a water transport service project.
The Ro-Pax operation between Neamati and Majuli will reduce the total distance of 420 km that is currently being traveled by vehicles to only 12 km, resulting in a substantial impact on the logistics of small-scale industries of the region. The Ro-Pax ferry services cut travel time by providing connectivity between banks. Vessels namely, MV Rani Gaidinliu and MV Sachin Dev Burman, shall become operational.

GPS to Replace FASTag? Pay Tolls by the Mile

Dhruva Kulkarni

The Indian government is set to roll out a new toll collection system to replace FASTag and physical toll booths with GPS-based technology.

Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said a new toll policy will be announced within 15 days, with implementation expected to begin in May.

Under this system, toll charges will be automatically deducted from vehicle owners’ bank accounts based on the distance travelled. The technology will use satellite tracking and number plate recognition to calculate tolls, aiming to cut costs, remove toll booths, and reduce traffic delays.

The government plans to use GNSS to monitor vehicle movement and ANPR cameras to verify number plates. This marks a shift away from FASTag, which has been in use since 2016.

The change comes as toll plazas have become expensive and congested. The new system is expected to bring transparency, curb fraud, and ensure fair tolling based on actual road usage.

Gadkari also gave an update on the long-delayed Mumbai-Goa highway, saying it will be completed by June. He acknowledged that legal issues and disputes had slowed progress, but that work is now moving swiftly. Once complete, the highway is expected to boost travel and development in the Konkan region.

He added that projects like the Delhi-Jaipur and Mumbai-Goa highways remain challenging but expressed confidence that India’s road network will surpass that of the US in the next two years.

India’s Trade Deficit Rebounds to $21.5 Bn in March After 3-Year Low

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s merchandise trade deficit widened sharply to $21.54 billion in March, reversing the relief seen in February when it had narrowed to a three-year low of $14.05 billion.

The spike came as imports surged to $64.51 billion from $50.96 billion in February, outpacing the rise in exports, which increased to $41.97 billion from $36.91 billion.

For the full financial year 2024-25, merchandise exports remained largely flat at $437.42 billion. However, non-petroleum exports reached a record high of $374 billion, growing 6% over the previous year. The Commerce Ministry also estimates overall exports for FY25 to be $820 billion, which could be the highest ever.

On the import front, all major categories saw growth except coal and briquettes. Key increases were seen in petroleum products at $185.78 billion, electronics at $98.73 billion, gold at $58.01 billion, and machinery at $53.55 billion.

Meanwhile, strong export growth was recorded in electronics, garments, tea, plastics, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, and key agricultural items like coffee, rice, and tobacco.

BMC uses emergency powers as lakes drop to 31% and tanker strike hits water supply

Dhruva Kulkarni

Mumbai is facing a water crisis, with its reservoirs at just 31% capacity due to low lake levels and a water tanker strike.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has invoked emergency powers to manage water tanker operations during the strike.

Mumbai’s total water stock has dropped to 5.67 lakh million litres, significantly lower than last year’s 9 lakh million litres.

The city’s daily water usage is 3,850 million litres, and current supplies will last only 45 days if no rain or alternative arrangements are made.

Smaller lakes are at higher capacity but contribute less, while major lakes like Modaksagar and Bhatsa run low, risking supply cuts.

The ongoing tanker strike, caused by stricter borewell regulations, is worsening the situation, affecting water delivery to homes and construction sites.

BMC has deployed teams to manage seized tankers and is encouraging water conservation to help avoid further shortages.
