The document outlines the transport infrastructure in India, discussing various modes including road, rail, air, and waterway transport, and highlights their significance and expansion plans. It emphasizes the rapid growth of the transport network and governmental efforts to improve infrastructure, particularly through budgetary allocations and public-private partnerships. Key challenges such as land acquisition and project delays are also addressed, along with the environmental benefits of inland water transport.

Population places demand on infrastructure.
Hence infrastructure faces pressure.

6. India has the second largest road network in the world.
National highways account for 1.7 % Of total network in
India.
Double-lane highways constitutes the largest share of
highways in India.
Proposal For Infrastructure - In order to boost the
transport infrastructure in the country the Union Budget
has provided for about Rs 1.70 Lakh Crore.

7. Less capital outlay (cost of constructing, operating and
maintaining roads)
Door to door service (warehouse to warehouse)
Service in rural areas
Flexible service (alternative ways, if any road is blocked)
Suitable for short distance
Lesser risk of damage in transit
Rapid speed
Personal services(people have their own vehicles)

8. India has experienced a rapid growth of motor vehicles in
the last decade. The total number of motor vehicles in India
increased from 52.37 million in 2000 to 121.63 million in
2011 i.e. an average growth rate of 9 per cent per year

9. In the roads sector, the policy thrust is on increased
categorisation of national highways (from the current 1.3
lakh kms to 2.0 lakh kms), building expressways,
increased use of electronic tolling and advanced
technologies for traffic control.
The Delhi-Mumbai expressway is getting immediate
attention. This sector has experimented with different
forms of PPPs, including Build Operate Transfer (BOT),
Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and Toll Operate Transfer
(TOT), enabling more projects to be undertaking.

10. Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is to be completed by 2023
while the work on the 262-km-long Bengaluru-Chennai
Expressway will commence within six months.
The six-lane, access-controlled expressway begins at
Hoskote in Karnataka and ends at Outer Ring Road near
Chennai. The project, which is being implemented under
the public-private partnership, is likely to reduce travel
time between Chennai and Bangalore to four hours.
12 lots of highway bundles totaling ₹60,000 crores would
be monetized before 2024. The Govt can utilize these funds
to build newer roads.

11. Delay in land acquisition,
Delay in obtaining forest/ environment clearances,
Lack of infrastructure support and linkages, delay in tie-up
of project financing,
Delay in finalisation of detailed engineering, change in
scope,
Delay in tendering, ordering & equipment supply, law &
order problems,
Geological surprises, pre-commissioning teething troubles
and contractual issues.

Example of highway
 North –South Corridor >>linking shrinagar –kanya kumara
 East – West Corridor >>linking silchar (Assam)–porbandar

13. Indian Railways (IR) is the third largest transportation and
logistics network of the world operating 21,000 plus trains
per day.
Network spans more than 64,600 kms.
 It runs around 13,000 trains to carry over 23 million
passengers per day connecting about 8,000 stations spread
across the subcontinent.
Worlds largest passenger carrier.

(NTDPC) has tried to estimate the overall freight traffic until
2031-32,using a growth rate of 1.2 times GDP growth rate.

15. Bhairabi Sairang railway project: In the state of Mizoram, the capital,
Aizawl to get Indian Railways connectivity through the 51 km long
Bhairabi Sairang project, which is expected to be completed by March
2023.
Dimapur-Kohima railway project: In the state of Nagaland, the
capital, Kohima to get the rail network through 82 km long Dimapur-
Kohima project. This rail project is expected to be completed by the
month of March 2023.
Teteliya-Byrnihat railway project: The capital of Meghalaya, Shillong
will be connected to the Indian Railways network through the 22 km
long Teteliya-Byrnihat project. This railway project is likely to be
completed by March 2022.
Sivok-Rangpo railway project: The capital of Sikkim, Gangtok will get
Indian Railways connectivity through the 44 km long Sivok-Rangpo
railway project.

16. Development and renewal of railways: Construction of
new lines and re-development of four stations.
Construction of 148-km Bengaluru suburban transport
project at a cost of ₹18,600 crores will be started, which
would have fared on the metro model.
Track renewal and introduction of more Tejas type
trains to iconic tourist destinations.
Corporate Train: It will run by IRCTC between Indore and
Varanasi.
Operation of 150 passenger trains via public-private
partnership (PPP) mode.
Setting up a large solar power capacity alongside the rail
tracks.

18. The mobility of men and material by air is called air
transport.
It is the fastest means of transport.
It is very useful for long distances and saves time.
Airports

19. 486 total airports, airstrips, flying schools and military
bases available in the country
123 airports with scheduled commercial flights including
some with dual civilian and army use
34 international airports

20. In the airports sector, there are two focus areas. The first is
on increasing capacity and services levels in the top 30
airports, primarily through the PPP route.
The second is on increasing the number of airports to
about 100 and ensuring that all tier II and many tier III
cities have own airports.
Regarding the increase in airports to serve lower ties cities,
the issue is one of viability. Attracting PPP’s may be difficult
in such airports, though with appropriate viability gap
funding/ subsidies, it is workable.

23. The government approved the proposal for enactment of
central legislation for declaring 101 additional inland
waterways as national waterway for navigation.
Inland water transport (IWT) is world over recognised as a
fuel efficient, cost effective and an environment friendly
mode of transport, especially for bulk goods, hazardous
goods and over dimensional cargo. The enormous socio-
economic and environmental advantages of IWT mode of
transportation over other modes such a

24.  Cost savings: HP moves 150 kg on road, 500 kg on rail and 4000 kg on
water. litre of fuel moves 24 t-km on road, 85 on rail and 105 on IWT..
Cost of developing waterways is much lower than rail & road. Reduces
transportation and transition losses.
Environment friendly:Least fuel consumption per tonne - km. CO2
emission is 50 percent that of trucks. Negligible land requirement. Safe
mode for hazardous and over dimensional cargo.
 Supplementary mode: Reduces pressure on road and rail. Reduces
congestion and accidents on road.
In view of the large network of inland waterways in India, there is vast
potential in IWT to act as an alternate

India’s growth story should no longer be impeded by a lack of
efficient transport infrastructure, and the fruits of growth
should reach everyone in the remotest part of the country
