Railways

 
  The Indian Railways is among the world’s largest rail network. Spread across 7,146 stations, the 64,600-km network enables the running of 19,000 trains on a daily basis. India's railway network is recognised as one of the largest railway systems in the world under a single management. The railway network is also ideal for long-distance travel and movement of bulk commodities, apart from being an energy efficient and economic mode of conveyance and transport. The Government of India has focused on investing on railway infrastructure by making investor-friendly policies. It has liberalized FDI in railways to improve infrastructure for freight and high-speed trains. At present, several domestic and foreign companies are also looking to invest in Indian rail projects. The government is also encouraging Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in railways.
