India's Metro-Rail Industry Expanding Fast

The Metro-Rail segment in India is growing at a frantic pace with positive long-term prospects, supported by the impetus provided by the government by way of business-friendly policies and financial support. Use of advanced technology and digitisation will be the game changers as they will usher in a highly modernized and efficient Metro-Rail transport system in India.

The Metro Rail Mass Rapid Transportation Systems (MRTS) has been widely accepted as an alternative to mass transport in urban India due to the increasing population, heightened vehicular traffic, and environmental pollution. MRTS and Metro rail construction activities are being undertaken across the country, towards which the government has allocated ₹23,500 crore from this year’s Budget.
