At
Pahalwan Ghat, 2 acres are allocated for a world-class cruise terminal.
Officials assessed Gandhi Ghat for a jetty and the Ganga riverbank near Kurji
for the ship repair hub, including dry dock construction.
The
ship repair center, costing Rs 4.15 crore on 5 acres near Kurji, supports National Waterway-1 vessels. PM Modi laid
its foundation in September 2025; fencing and signage are complete, with work
accelerating post-budget mention.
Developments position Patna as a Ganga cruise hub, reducing reliance on Kolkata for repairs and boosting local employment and trade via eco-friendly inland transport.
