As a part of its overall objective of developing the inland water transport sector in India, IWAI intends to develop terminals located across all the waterways of the country. IWAI has also adopted a policy of developing these terminals, to the extent possible, on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis. In this regard, IFC is seeking to hire a Technical Consultant for screening the terminals and help in understanding the business case for each of these terminals. This would entail a broad assessment of the cargo potential, type of cargo and identification of potential cargo owners for each terminal. The consultant will be expected to take into consideration the work of an ongoing World Bank funded study which is similar.
