Indian Rail Transport Sector

The Indian Rail Transport Sector is a vital component of the country’s infrastructure, serving as a major mode of long-distance and suburban transportation for passengers and freight. Managed primarily by Indian Railways, a government department, it features an extensive network connecting cities, towns, and rural areas across India. The sector promotes economic growth by facilitating trade and mobility while also providing affordable transportation options. It faces ongoing challenges such as modernization, safety, and passenger comfort, but continues to evolve with investments in high-speed trains, digitalization, and infrastructure upgrades.
