A. Uttar Pradesh B. Rajasthan C. Gujarat D. Maharashtra
Explanation: The Ro-Ro (Roll on, Roll off) ferry service between Ghogha and Dahej in Gujarat is claimed as South Asia’s first world-class Ro-Ro ferry service. The first phase of this ferry service was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra on 22 October 2017. The 31-km ferry service will cut travel time from nearly eight hours to one and hugely benefit the people working in the diamond-cutting and polishing hub of Surat. The on-road distance between the two towns will be down from 360 km to 30 km. The ferry service has been funded partly by the Gujarat government and the Sagarmala project of the central government. The project has been constructed and designed by Essar Projects, the EPC arm of the Essar Group.
