Railway Development in India

Railway development in India has evolved from early beginnings in the 19th century to become one of the world's largest and most complex networks. It started with limited routes to connect major cities, now spanning over 68,000 kilometers. The focus has shifted from basic connectivity to modernizing infrastructure, introducing high-speed trains, freight corridors, and digital technologies for efficiency. This development supports economic growth, facilitates trade, and enhances mobility for millions of passengers. Ongoing investments aim to improve safety, sustainability, and connectivity, making Indian Railways a vital backbone of the country’s transportation system.
