India holds the position of having the 4th largest railway network globally, with a vast expanse of over 65,000 km in route length. This extensive network plays a crucial role in transporting billions of passengers and tons of freight annually, serving as the backbone of India’s economic and social infrastructure. It supports industrial growth, enhances regional connectivity, and contributes significantly to national integration. The Indian Railways also contributes to employment and environmental sustainability while aiming to be a global leader in rail-based logistics and mobility by adopting innovations like KAVACH, automatic signalling, and plans for net-zero emissions by 2030.
