India's Metro Rail Network Poised to Surpass US Length
India's metro rail network is projected to surpass the United States' in length within the next two years, according to Union Minister Manohar Lal. The US currently has a metro rail network of 1,386 km. The expansion of metro services in India is linked to improving citizens' ease of living and contributing to the 'Viksit Bharat' goal. This development occurs alongside the ongoing expansion of India's 2,843-km Dedicated Freight Corridor network, aimed at increasing freight capacity, reducing passenger route congestion, and enhancing logistics efficiency.
