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.

Feasibility studies have been conducted for such a project in locations like Jalore or Barmer in Rajasthan, aiming to provide direct access to sea trade routes. While still in the conceptual or exploration phase, Rajasthan is the state associated with this specific type of proposal among the given options.
