The Indian government has in principle allowed Nepal to use its three inland waterways. India has consented to grant access to the Kolkata-Kalughat-Raxaul; Kolkata-Sahebgunj-Biratnagar; and Kolkata-Varanasi-Raxaul routes. Nepal will be able to operate its own vessels on the Ganga river. India currently grants duty-free access to Nepalese products with at least 30 per cent value addition. It has agreed in principle on giving flexibility in tariffs to the goods imported from Nepal.
