The World bank has approved a US $ 245 million loans to modernize the indian railway sector. As a result, the railways are expected to grow significantly in the freight sector. With 71 percent of freight in india currently passing by the road, modernization of freight transport in the railway sector will increase the volume of freight passing by railways.
Over the past few years, freight traffic in the railway sector has been losing its share and road freight has become the most frequent mode of transport. Due to this, Railways is planning to expand the freight sector again due to many problems including air pollution and road accidents.Following this, the Railway Department sought the World bank to modernize the railway freight. The World bank has now approved a $ 245 million loan to the railway sector.
