The biggest advantage of the new route over the earlier ones is that it is the shortest and cheapest route with just one-fifth distance of road travel as compared to others. There is no air travel involved and the majority of the travel, 84%, is in India and only 16% in China compared to other routes where 80% of road travel is in China.
