Road and rail - India's ride to the future

Statista trend report on the sustainability of road and rail infrastructure in India

Road and rail - India's ride to the future

India's robust economy and vibrant society are supported by extensive land transportation networks that offer both freight corridors for the movement of goods and a high-volume passenger carrying capacity. These land transportation networks play a critical role in the country's development. However, in recent years, India's road and rail infrastructure has exhibited a degree of underdevelopment, especially from a sustainable point of view. Both the Indian government and industries have recognized the challenges and needs of the land transport sector, and have been working on its improvement.

This report aims to illuminate the history, current state, and the future prospects of road and rail infrastructure across the vast landscape of India.
