After Hyundai opened up car transport through coastal waterways earlier this year, India's largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India Limited, is now planning to execute India's pilot project for vehicle transport using inland waterways.

"A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) and Maruti Suzuki India Ltd for transportation of cars through inland vessels," Minister of State for Shipping P Radhakrishnan said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
