Indian transport sector plays a vital role in India's economic growth. It consists of various modes of transportation including railways, waterways, airways, and roadways. Railways has the largest network spanning over 64,600 km and operates over 19,000 trains daily. It aims to increase freight market share to 50% by 2030. Waterways like NW-4 are underdeveloped despite potential for freight transport. Airways support over 1.7 million jobs directly and indirectly. Roadways remain an extensive mode of transport but face issues like accidents and seasonal impacts. Overall, an efficient transport network provides major benefits to India like increased market access, employment, and ability to respond to disasters.
