India, Aug. 12 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Building the Foundation of Growth
India's infrastructure landscape has undergone a major transformation over the past 12 years. From transport and logistics to housing and water, infrastructure development has moved towards integrated planning and large-scale expansion. This has strengthened connectivity, improved access to essential services and created the foundations for sustained economic growth. Public capital expenditure has risen from about Rs.2 lakh crore in FY 2014-15 to Rs.12.2 lakh crore in FY 2026-27, supporting this advancement.
A New Era of Rail Mobility
Indian Railways is moving towards faster, safer and more modern mobility. Electrification, advanced safety systems, high-speed rail and new-generation trains are reshaping the rail network.
Roads and Highways Connecting India
A wider and more capable road network is bringing regions closer. The expansion of National Highways, rural roads and major corridors is enabling smoother movement of people and goods.
Bridges and Tunnels: Engineering New Frontiers
Engineering breakthroughs are overcoming some of India's most demanding geographical challenges. These projects are opening new routes across difficult terrain.
Civil Aviation and Regional Air Access
Air connectivity is reaching more cities, towns and remote regions. The expansion of airports, UDAN routes and digital passenger services is making flying more accessible across the country.
Metro: The Rise of Mass Urban Transit
India's urban mobility network is expanding in scale and scope. Metro connectivity now spans more cities, while innovative systems are opening new possibilities for urban transport.
India's Maritime Momentum
India is strengthening its maritime backbone to support a growing economy and expanding trade. Investments in ports, waterways and maritime infrastructure are creating a more capable and connected ecosystem.
Strengthening Logistics and Industrial Capacity
Infrastructure is increasingly being planned as an interconnected network supporting industry and trade. From GatiShakti to industrial corridors, the focus is on improving coordination, efficiency and manufacturing capacity.
Water, Housing and Urban Development
The infrastructure push extends directly to people's homes and everyday needs. From tap-water access and affordable housing to urban renewal, these efforts are shaping better living conditions across rural and urban India.
Infrastructure for a Stronger, Future-Ready India
India's infrastructure journey reflects a decisive shift in the scale and ambition of national development. The focus has moved towards building resilient, high-capacity systems that not only support a fast-growing economy today but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Collectively, these initiatives are strengthening the foundation for a more efficient, inclusive, and future-ready India.
