In July 2025, India’s Union Minister of Shipping, Sarbananda Sonowal, told the Indian parliament that the India-funded and developed Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP) in Myanmar will be fully operational by 2027 after the completion of the Paletwa-Zorinpui Road.
The project was initiated in 2003, and a Framework Agreement and Protocols were signed in 2008. But since then, the project has faced numerous obstacles, delaying its completion.
The Kaladan project includes a sea component between Kolkata and Sittwe, a river component involving 158 km of the Kaladan river from Sittwe to Paletwa, and a 109 km road component linking Paletwa in Myanmar’s Chin State with Zorinpui in India’s Mizoram state.
