India is fast moving towards its goal of becoming the $5 Trillion economy in the world. This aim rides on the back of liberalised economic policies, which made it more market-oriented, allowing a greater role for private capital, and increasing its global competitiveness.
In the last 9 years, there has been a massive expansion of the Highway network in the country with Expressways coming up. The National Highways Network has increased by 60% to 1,45,240 km.
On the other hand, the national carrier Indian Railways has improved capacity and is bringing new trains such as Vande Bharat, Amrit Bharat, and Namo Bharat among others. Notably, the pace of railway track construction increased more than 3 times from 1,452 km/year to 5,243 km/year.
