Estimated investment for railways in India FY 2020-2025, by area of infrastructure
A total of 182 billion U.S. dollars were estimated to be invested for the development of railway infrastructure in India, out of which a significant share of 42 billion U.S. dollars were allocated for track and safety. The aim was to increase logistics and passenger-handling capacity. To boost the private sector's confidence for investing in railway development, the Government of India provided longer lease periods, and parcels of land near railway stations for commercial development.
