Kaladan Multi Modal Transit Transport Project is largest & most strategically important Indian investment in Myanmar which aims to connect NE with Kolkata through Sittwe Port of Myanmar via Bay of Bengal that will provide valuable alternate route and considerably cut travel time
When completed, the KMTTT will shorten the current time taken to transport goods from Kolkata to Mizoram by three-four days, and the distance by around 950 km.
This is the reason that KMMTT is called “Future Gateway to South East Asia.
It will also serve as cornerstone of India’s “Look East Policy” aiming to expand India’s economic and political influence in Southeast Asia.
