    Indian Railways at The Crossroads: Presentation by Group - 2 Mba - HR

    Uploaded by

    Aditya Kulkarni
    Indian Railways is the largest civilian employer in the world, carrying over 15 million passengers daily across its 104,000 km network. While it has faced challenges with aging infrastructure, safety issues, and balancing social and economic objectives, efforts are being made to modernize operations through outsourcing, introducing new technologies, and increasing privatization. However, full privatization may not be a complete solution given its social responsibilities of operating unprofitable routes and providing subsidized fares and services. Overall, Indian Railways remains an essential mode of transportation but continues to be at a crossroads in terms of reforms needed to improve its long-term sustainability.
