Hitachi Rail's Mangal Dev on Decongesting Indian Railways

Mangal Dev from Hitachi Rail talked about how Indian Railways can handle more trains and goods.

He said the railways should focus on making the busy parts of the network less crowded.

This can be done by building more special paths for cargo trains, called freight corridors.

These corridors can run a train every 10 minutes and carry more goods.

Dev also mentioned that using better technology and planning can help make the railways safer and more efficient.

He suggested that the railways should also carry more types of goods, not just big loads, to compete with trucks.

This would make the railways more useful and environmentally friendly.

Hitachi Rail is also involved in the bullet train project and other railway improvements.
