TRANSPORT
INTRODUCTION:
Indias transport sector is large and diverse; it caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people. In 2007, the
sector contributed about 5.5 percent to the nations GDP, with road transportation contributing the
lions share.
Good physical connectivity in the urban and rural areas is essential for economic growth. Since the
early 1990s, India's growing economy has witnessed a rise in demand for transport infrastructure and
services.
We have three sub topics under transport they are:
Aviation
Metro
Railways
Surface transport
Water ways
AVIATION:
India has 125 airports, including 11 international airports. Indian airports handled 96 million passengers and
1.5 million tons of cargo in year 2006-2007, an increase of 31.4% for passenger and 10.6% for cargo traffic
over previous year.
The dramatic increase in air traffic for both passengers and cargo in recent years has placed a heavy strain on
the country's major airports.
Passenger traffic is projected to cross 100 million and cargo to cross 3.3 million tons by year 2010.Transport
infrastructure in India is better developed in the southern and southwestern parts of the country.
METRO:
WEBSITE OF MUMBAI METRO ONE:
Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro, also
referred to as Metro I or the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) corridor, is part of the metro system for
the city of Mumbai, India. The 11.40 km line is fully elevated, and consists of 12 stations
from Versova toGhatkopar. The line connects the eastern and western suburbs of Mumbai.
It was built at an estimated cost of 4,321 crore (US$640 million) and is operated by the Mumbai Metro One
Pvt Ltd (MMOPL). The MMOPL is a joint venture company owned by Reliance Infrastructure, Veolia
Transport and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).Line 1 started operations
on 8 June 2014.
RAILWAYS:
Railways. Indian Railways is one of the largest railways under single management. It carries some 17 million
passengers and 2 million tonnes of freight a day in year 2007 and is one of the worlds largest employers. The railways
play a leading role in carrying passengers and cargo across India's vast territory. However, most of its major corridors
have capacity constraint requiring capacity enhancement plans.
You can check the upgraded passengers list of Indian Railways. The list can be check by providing the train's name or
number and chart date. To benefit waitlisted passengers and the railways in terms of filling up vacant accommodation
in various trains, the Railways had introduced a scheme, on an experimental basis, to upgrade full fare paying waiting
list passengers to the next higher class against the available vacant accommodation.
Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited is an organization that is considered to be the financing body for the
Ministry of Railways and raises money for railways. Get information related to company, its services, investor

SURFACE TRANSPORT:
Roads are the dominant mode of transportation in India today. They carry almost 90 percent of the countrys passenger
traffic and 65 percent of its freight. The density of Indias highway network -- at 0.66 km of highway per square
kilometer of land is similar to that of the United States (0.65) and much greater than China's (0.16) or Brazil's (0.20).
However, most highways in India are narrow and congested with poor surface quality, and 40 percent of Indias
villages do not have access to all-weather roads.
WATER WAYS:
India has 12 major and 187 minor and intermediate ports along its more than 7500 km long coastline. These ports
serve the countrys growing foreign trade in petroleum products, iron ore, and coal, as well as the increasing
movement of containers. Inland water transportation remains largely undeveloped despite India's 14,000 kilometers of
navigable rivers and canals.

CONCLUSION:
However, the sector has not been able to keep pace with rising demand and is proving to be a drag on the economy.
Major improvements in the sector are required to support the country's continued economic growth and to reduce
poverty. Transport has recorded an extensive growth over the years both in spread of network and in output of the
system.
