India is planning a major railway capacity upgrade, with 11,000 km of high-density routes set to be four-laned. These routes currently carry 41% of the country’s rail traffic, and the expansion aims to quadruple capacity while easing congestion for passenger and freight services. The ambitious programme could also drive demand for freight wagons, passenger coaches and railway infrastructure, creating opportunities for companies across India’s rail ecosystem.
