India - 65,000km

India's national railway network is the 4th longest in the world, with a length of more than 65,000km. In 2013, the country's railways served about 8 billion passengers and 1.01 million tons of cargo. The Indian railway network is divided into 17 regions and operates more than 19,000 trains per day, including 12,000 passenger trains and 7,000 freight trains.

Rail transport is an important mode of transportation of people and goods in India. Indian Railways (IR) is the main operator of railway operations across the country, a state-owned entity of the Ministry of Railways, which previously had its own government budget. Between 2019 and 2020, 22.15 million passengers used the Indian Railways network on a daily basis. During the same period, 3.32 million tons of freight were also transported daily on the India Railway network.

The 534km Mumbai-Ahmedabad Expressway is being upgraded as a pilot project with an estimated investment of $9.65 billion.
