Deccan Railway Company

The Deccan Railway Company was a prominent railway operator in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily serving the Deccan region. Established to develop and manage railway lines, it facilitated transportation of passengers and goods, boosting regional connectivity and economic growth. The company was part of the broader expansion of rail infrastructure under British colonial rule, contributing to modernizing India's transportation network. Over time, many such private railway companies were integrated into larger entities or reorganized, shaping the foundation of India's railway system today.
