IR is the lifeline of the country carrying nearly 23 million passengers every day making it the largest passenger carrying system in the world. It is also the 4th largest freight transporter in the world moving 1,160 million tonnes of freight annually, as it traverses the length and breadth of the country. Rail-based transport is the most environment friendly mass transport system due to the inherent gains it provides in terms of energy efciency and resource optimisation. Railways are about 12 times more efcient in freight trafc and 3 times more efcient in passenger trafc as compared to road transport. As the Indian economy transitions, with economic growth and sustainable development as twin goals, mobility will play a key role. It has been estimated that for the sustainable development of Indian Economy, the inter-modal share of freight trafc by rail should go up from the current share of 36% to 45% by 2030. Accordingly, Indian Railways is gearing up for a massive growth to achieve such increase in inter-modal share by augmentation of its network and rolling stock eet along with increase in productivity. For IR to become a low carbon mass transport system an integrated approach, which includes resource efciency at its core, will be critical. As the country’s lifeline, the national transporter, in
