'''Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project ''' that involves development of a trade route between [[India]] and [[Myanmar]] along the river [[Kaladan]]. The river [[Kaladan]] is navigable from its confluence point with the [[Bay of Bengal]] near [[SittwSittwe]]e up to Setpyitpyin (Kaletwa), Myanmar, on its North. Beyond this the river is not navigable owing to shallow water depth and frequent rapids. Therefore, transportation by road is proposed for this stretch. From Sittwe Port to Kaletwa, transportation will be by waterway and from Kaletwa to India-Myanmar border transportation will be by road

==Specifications==

'''Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project will connect the eastern Indian seaport of [[Kolkata]] with [[Sittwe]] port in [[Myanmar]] by sea; it will then link [[Sittwe]] to [[Mizoram]] via river and road transport. This project would reduce distance from [[Kolkata]] to [[SittwSittwe]]e by approximately 1328 kms saving a lot of money, time and energy and also providing Northeast india a route to import and export goods out of northeast India.

Salient features of the proposed Project are as follows:

:*Kolkata to Sittwe: Sea 539 km.

:*Sittwe to Setpyitpyin: Inland Water 225 km.

(Kaletwa) Transport on river Kaladan

:*Setpyitpyin to India border by Road 62 km.
