Rajasthan has explored the possibility of constructing an artificial inland port, potentially connecting to the Arabian Sea via a channel through Gujarat.
The concept involves establishing a port facility in a landlocked region like Rajasthan, connected to a major seaport by a dedicated infrastructure like a canal or pipeline, especially for bulk cargo like petroleum. This is seen as a way to reduce logistics costs for industries in Rajasthan.
