- India’s Budget proposes to steer the economy to record levels by boosting investment in the infrastructure sector with clear and important commitments on improving rail transport.
- Bombardier welcomes new government’s commitment to improve rail infrastructure in India, which is vital for the country’s growth and employment generation, with allocation of investments, identifying new avenues such as PPP for rolling stock and focusing on digitization.
- Reinforcement on public private partnerships (PPP) will gain momentum with faster development of railway infrastructure, including rolling stock, and gives reassurance to the private sector.
- These commitments, combined with a level playing field for the private sector, are important for companies like Bombardier to evaluate the future of the rail industry itself in India. Investment has been much needed for some time. We passionately believe that this will kick-start a new wave of India’s rail industry for innovation, manufacturing and exporting. The transition from the days of chronic under-investment to the renewed focus on improving capacity and ensuring a safe, efficient, fast and comfortable travel experience is extremely encouraging for Bombardier
