First international cargo vessel departs from Dibrugarh since 1947

In a major boost to river-based trade, the first international cargo vessel left eastern Assam's Dibrugarh since 1947. Once one of India’s busiest river ports, Dibrugarh is now positioning itself for enhanced regional connectivity and greater movement of goods.

The resumption of international cargo operations from this eastern Assam port marks a historic shift in Inland Waterways transport, aiming to revitalize trade corridors that have been inactive for decades.
