India's Transportation Sector: Problems, Challenges and Opportunities

As India's economy is poised for a healthy rate of growth, its transport is poised for a growth of 12% or more. Thus, every six years, India needs to double its transport capacity. The country has to have:
  • more roads
  • better roads
  • high speed facilities like Expressways
  • more vehicles
  • safer travel
The present stock of roads in India is out-dated, congested, wasteful of resources and extremely unsafe. India is losing its competitive advantage in the global economy because of its poor roads. Road modernization has become inevitable. India has a great opportunity to learn from international experience in its programme of building durable roads.
