The recent pandemic disrupted the global transport sector, the people, and businesses that rely on it in unprecedented ways. While the world economy is coming to terms with it, India is fast re-gaining it with a new momentum – multiple factors are contributing to an idea of the country turning into a developed nation in the coming decades. Infrastructure development, futuristic mobility solutions and strong E-governance are all fast-tracking to a commitment of 7% 2GDP growth. In short, India is firing up all its engines of growth. And what emerges in the prominence is its transformation in transportation and mobility solutions. Thus, electrifying how the country progresses is the top priority. What is even more astounding is how the railway transportation is synchronizing its modernisation dovetailed with urban metrorail systems and the legacy of Indian Railways - integrating greenfield, futuristic developments with the legacy landscape.
The action is already visible on the ground, with a vision for a long-term sustainable environmental, social, and economic good. As part of India’s evolving social infrastructure and digital revolution, urban mobility of the future is turning uber. Decreased road congestion, lower carbon footprint, reduced travel time, enhanced safety, and ease of travel are the parameters on which India is building its mobility’s foundation. Rail-based Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS), Light Rail Transport System (MetroLite & MetroNeo), Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are the areas where India is progressing rapidly. At the heart of this comes Hitachi Rail, with solutions that embraces Digital Technologies (DX), Green Technologies (GX), with Innovation capabilities.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year.
