Web portal for online approval of Movement of Heavy Transport launched

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping has launched a web portal for online approval of movement of Over Dimensional (OD) and Over Weight Cargo (OWC). The digitalization in the sector will ensure smoother movement of heavy transport and make system corruption free. The number of e-tolls are expected to scale up to 350 by March this year while 108 e-tolls have become operational in the country in the present time.

Further, the Government will give priority to development of waterways in the country as there is a need to make the country pollution free and transportation by this mode is the cheapest.
