  • RRP: Sector Assessment (Summary): Transport (Rail and Urban)
    Bengaluru Metro Rail Project (RRP IND 53326) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): TRANSPORT (RAIL AND URBAN) A. Sector Road Map I. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Urban transport in India. Efficient and sustainable urban transport systems and mobility are critical for the smooth functioning of India’s cities. Although national population growth has slowed to 1.02% per year in 2019 from its peak at 2.33% in 1974,1 the urban population continues to grow rapidly. It is estimated that more than 50% of Indians will be living in urban areas by 2050, compared with 34% in 2018.2 Growing urbanization will result in the total number of Indian cities with populations of 1 million or more growing from 19 cities to 71 cities by 2050. About 70% of net new jobs generated by 2030 will be in urban areas.3 2. Rapid urbanization is intensifying demand for urban transport. India continues to rely heavily on private vehicles for urban transport. From 2003 to 2017, the number of total registered vehicles in India increased 318%, from 67 million to 253 million, an annual growth rate of 10%.4 The rapid increase in private vehicles on the roads has led to congestion and severe air pollution, causing serious health problems in many cities. Severe traffic congestion in just four major metropolises— Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai—is estimated to cause $22 billion in economic losses annually.5 Consequently, the government is strongly committed to promoting public mass transport. Public transportation infrastructure in India needs high levels of investment and massive upgrading to spur a shift away from private vehicles to more sustainable forms of transport.
