Several measures have been taken for the strategic upgradation of coastal and inland waterway networks of the East Coast states under MIV 2030. Operationalization of National Waterway-5 (Brahmani River System), connecting Paradip and Dhamra Ports with mineral-rich regions such as Talcher and Angul to facilitate inland waterway connectivity, has been announced in the Union Budget 2026–27. In addition, coastal shipping initiatives, such as the promotion of the Rail–Sea–Rail (RSR) model at Paradip Port, have contributed to increased coastal cargo movement along the East Coast.
