more-inIndia is way behind China on investment in railway, including border infrastructure, says Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, even as he defends the government’s delivery record in MoUs with other countries such as Japan, China and KoreaIn terms of India’s ambitions abroad, where does the Indian Railways hope to grow? China is way ahead of us in terms of railways investment. In any case, if India wants to have overall infrastructure of a good quality, we must step up railway infrastructure. We are always constrained by the fact that the Finance Ministry will have limited resources, and won’t be able to give us more investment. Whatever you see today in terms of problems in the Railways is a result of a lack of investment in the Railways for decades.
