The National Rail Plan 2030 has been formulated by the Indian Railways.
About
This plan intends to expand the operational capacities and commercial policy initiatives to enhance the share of Railways in freight to 45%.
The major objective is to increase the capacity over the demands which would result in the overall growth by involving Public-Private Partnership.
The National Rail Plan aims to offer a long-term perspective plan for boosting the railway network in India.
The vision of the National Rail Plan (NRP) is to develop capacity, infrastructure and enhance rail freight share ahead of the demand.
It also aims to develop capacity by 2030 that will cater to the expanding demand up to 2050.
One of the key tasks of the NRP was to map the entire Indian Railway Network at GIS (Geographical Information System) Platform along with their respective attributes and line features.
This gigantic exercise was carried out as part of the study and the entire network was mapped on the GIS platform
